Professionally, my background has two layers. I worked in the creative sector for 25 years, within print, creative and media agencies. Managing complexity in pressurised environments eventually led me to leading teams, consultancy and co-running businesses.

​​​​​

Navigating personal loss in 2011 necessitated some long overdue reflection and re-engaged an earlier passion for psychology. This later led me to enrol at Regents University in 2014 to re-train as a Counselling Psychotherapist.

​​​​​​​​

I transitioned careers in 2017 to start The Unsaid Space and qualify with the bacp (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and have worked with individuals and some families since then. In addition to one to one work I have been providing Reflective Clinics and Workshops within organisations since 2019. I co-ran a Mens Talk Club locally from 2022-25 and continue to facilitate group work and events. 

​​

I work integratively and creatively, which just means I design bespoke therapeutic experiences for each client, using far more than words as a tool. My approach has grown through the study of various theoretical styles and thousands of hours of work with people and their stories. Sessions draw on a mix of cognitive, jungian, somatic, and existential theories, and may also include breath, movement, writing, edmr, nature and trauma release techniques.​​

​

Personally, my family roots are shared equally between Newcastle and East London. Having grown up and worked in various parts of greater London, I eventually settled in Sussex in 1999. I'm fortunate to have a supportive and encouraging partner as well as two hugely inspiring daughters and I try to retain balance through a deep affection for my work and my relationships with friends, family, exercise, nature and learning.
