I have evolved and expanded upon my knowledge and skill base in many therapeutic models over the past 25 years.  I started out with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and initially pursued a career in Clinical Psychology.  I instead began to follow my natural enquiry in to the nature of the mind and in particular learning about ways to resolve pain and distress. This is a path I continue to follow. 

​

Along the way I trained in person centred counselling and became accredited in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, working in the medico-legal profession and helping hundreds of people overcome anxiety and depression.

​

My interest led in to the field of trauma as I trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. This work opened me to the causal impact of childhood experiences as I began to see how our conditioning informs our belief systems and quality of life and health.  

​

This enquiry led me to train in Internal Family Systems, a groundbreaking psycho-spiritual therapy and o was fortunate enough to train directly with the founder of the model,  Dr Richard Schwartz for three weeks as I completed all three levels of the training.   

​

I also trained with Lisa Schwartz during this time on the basic and advanced training in Comprehensive Resource Model which expands upon the  parts model to embrace ancestral and pre-conceptual trauma patterns. 

 

Throughout this time I operated from a very busy private practice in Manchester city centre, held monthly IFS meet up groups, collaborated and presented many workshops and trainings and continued to research and study.  I broadened my search in to the fields of plant medicines, shamanism, breath-work, somatic work and more recently upon non-dualism and the awakening path. 

​

Since 2002 I have. transferred my work in to the online domain, where I continue to see private clients.  

​

I also run a trauma informed psycho-spiritual group programme offering continual one to one support, group processes and retreats. For more information see www.sanatio.org.uk. 

​

I have developed my own blend of therapy combining elements from all my training and expertise helping people to eliminate all dimensions of pain and suffering by resolving conflict, grievance and conditioned patterns to open to the full potential and realisation of true nature.
