Having worked as a therapist since 1996, and having had lots of my own therapy over the years, I have a genuine understanding of the courage it takes to face one’s emotions and inner world. I work in an integrative way, incorporating the clinical lens as a psychologist, the relational lens as a psychotherapist, and the systemic approach that comes with couples’ work.

I work in a depth-oriented, relational and engaged way, believing in the need for the client to relate to a real person and not to a blank slate or the “role” of a therapist. I am deeply informed by attachment theory, Jungian theories, mindfulness, somatic therapies, and an overall Transpersonal framework.

Transpersonal psychotherapy is not merely the alleviation of suffering, but the integration of physical (our body), emotional, mental (intellectual and psychological), and spiritual aspects of well-being. It is not solely dwelling on our troubles, but includes the exploration and focus on our potential, the development of our inner resources and creativity.

Transpersonal Psychology as I practice it, is a combination of Clinical Psychology and Integrative Psychotherapy, and draws knowledge and practices from mainstream psychology, anthropology, history, sociology, philosophy, and other disciplines when helpful and needed. This includes my growing interest and training in the current revival and research in psychedelic therapy.

My clinical specialities are in working with trauma (PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), complex trauma and developmental-attachment trauma, dissociative disorders, childhood abuse, depression and anxiety, couples’ therapy as well as relationship issues for individuals, and providing clinical supervision to other therapists and NHS Trusts nationally.

I was born and grew up in Montreal, Canada. I began working in the UK in 2000, and held the post of Specialist Psychologist in the Alcohol and Trauma Service in Sussex Partnership NHS Trust in Brighton, East Sussex for over 9 years. I have been fully in private practice since 2009.
