Embodied & Systemic Psychotherapy

Individual psychotherapy for adults | Vauxhall, London & Online

I am an HCPC-registered Drama and Movement Psychotherapist with over 17 years of experience supporting people through personal challenges, life transitions and processes of change.

I offer an integrative, embodied approach to psychotherapy, bringing together psychological insight, embodied awareness, creative exploration and systemic perspectives.

You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, or a sense of feeling stuck in familiar patterns. Perhaps you are navigating a significant life transition, exploring questions of identity, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships.

Whatever brings you to therapy, I offer a thoughtful, relational and supportive space in which to explore your experiences, develop greater self-understanding and discover new possibilities for change.

My approach

My work brings together psychological exploration, embodied awareness, creative processes and systemic perspectives.

I am interested in the relationship between our thoughts, emotions, bodily experiences and the wider relational contexts in which we live. Through conversation, reflection, movement, imagination and creative exploration, we can develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and the patterns that shape our lives.

A systemic perspective informs my work, recognising how our relationships, family histories and wider environments influence our experiences, identities and ways of relating.

The therapeutic process offers an opportunity to explore what is happening in your life, develop greater awareness and discover new ways of relating to yourself, others and the world around you.

Therapy is collaborative and responsive to you. We work at a pace and in a way that feels appropriate, with creative and embodied exploration offered as possibilities rather than expectations.

What brings people to therapy?

I work with adults navigating a range of emotional and psychological experiences, including:

• Anxiety, stress and emotional overwhelm
• Depression and periods of low mood
• Relationship and family difficulties
• Repeating patterns and feeling stuck
• Life transitions, identity and questions of belonging
• Grief, loss and significant life changes
• Disconnection from yourself, your body or your sense of purpose

Sometimes the starting point is a feeling, a question or a sense that something in your life is asking for attention.
