I’m a qualified Jungian Analyst / Analytical Psychologist as I have successfully completed 7 years of training at the Guild of Analytical Psychology. I am also member of the IAAP (International Association of Analytical Psychology). I’m also one of a very few BAME Jungian Analysts globally. I’m also registered with the UKCP and fully insured as well as having regular supervision and my own personal analysis. Before my training to become an Analyst I completed a Certificate in Psychodynamic Counselling from Madingley Hall Cambridge.
I practice from a central Cambridge location but I'm currently working online.
My first passion was the arts and I went to drama school (Arts Ed) in London and I converted my drama school 3yr diploma into a Hons degree at Saint Margaret’s University in Edinburgh. I have also taught young people with various learning needs in a regional college and I have also worked as a qualified CELTA teacher at a Language school in Cambridge.
As well as working I am a mum and step-mum and we share our lives with a lively Portuguese Water dog called Monty. I’m a very creative person and when I can I enjoy, painting and experimenting with different mediums, cooking, baking, gardening, writing and doing bits of DIY around the house.

Ihave just started a PhD in Counter Terrorism and Deradicalization and am interested in Leadership and senior management roles within diverse areas of life.
I offer a safe space filled with empathy and compassion for you to share and reflect on your problems. As well as life coaching, counselling and therapy I also offer analysis which employs creative techniques such as dream work, art, and active imagination which help to shed light on the deep unconscious processes. It's these processes which sometimes leave people feeling like they are trapped in a cycle of negative, painful and destructive behaviour. As a Jungian analyst I greatly value individual difference and therefore each therapeutic relationship is similarly unique therefore I work organically rather than by using prescriptive techniques.
Sometimes people feel so overwhelmed by their problems that they struggle to engage with the outside world and cut themselves off from friends and family. I can offer various techniques and new ways of thinking which can help you feel capable of taking on life’s challenges.
Other people have reached a stage in life in which they are looking for a deeper sense of meaning, together we can explore creative and spiritual techniques which will help you to feel a sense of connection to both yourself and the world around you.
