About Me

​

Before I trained in expressive arts therapy and counselling, I ran an online shop buying and selling antique & vintage textiles and clothing; my clients included theatre props departments, TV studios, and national magazines. I went on to restore antique textiles and worked with local museums, stately homes, interior designers and private clients. I also taught textiles and experimental hand embroidery in adult education. ​​

 

I bring decades of my life and work experience into the therapy room. The stories of other peoples lives, the layers of suffering and joy, and the hope they contain fascinate and move me, it's one of the reasons I retrained as a therapist. Building trusting relationships with clients and offering them the space to unfold is a privilege, psychological growth is a profound process to witness.
 

In my free time I stitch, paint and write. I live by the South Downs Way and I'm inspired by the shape of the landscape, the seasons and the changing light - I’m often outdoors with my sketchbook, collecting rocks, feathers and bones.
