My professional background is two-fold. I worked in the creative sector for 25 years, developing a part-time job during school, into international roles within print, creative and media agencies. Managing complexity in pressurised environments eventually led me to leading teams and mentoring individuals.

​​

Navigating personal loss in 2011 re-engaged an earlier passion for psychology and therapeutic approaches to overwhelm. This led me to attend university to train as a Counselling Psychotherapist in my early forties.

​​

I continue to study and practise a range of theories so my approach goes far beyond talking through problems. Sessions are tailored individually - combining open dialogue, bodywork, conscious breathing, visualisation, emdr, creative expression and educational insights as needed. 

​

I transitioned careers in 2017 to start The Unsaid Space and qualify with the bacp (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I've been working with individuals, and providing workshops for teams and organisations ever since. I continue to study and explore the interplay between mind and body.

​

Personally, my family tree has its roots 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 wonderfully supportive and encouraging partner as well as two hugely inspiring daughters and I try and retain balance through a deep affection for my work and my relationships with friends, family, exercise, nature and learning.
