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, which eventually found me enrolling at Regents University in 2014 to re-train as a Counselling Psychotherapist in my early forties.

​​​​​​

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 full time with individuals since 2017, as well as providing workshops for teams and organisations since 2020. 

 

I've studied and continue to practise and refine a range of therapeutic methods;

analytical, existential, somatic and psychedelic. So my approach goes far beyond talking through problems. Sessions are tailored and integrate open dialogue,

connected breathing, body focusing, visualisation, emdr, trauma release exercises and creative expression as needed. ​​

​​

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 wonderfully 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.
