About me
In my late teens, anxiously confronted with overwhelmingly hungry pigs, I decided I no longer wanted to study Rudolf Steiner’s Biodynamics agriculture and changed career to a short spell as a tree surgeon and gardener. However, realising that my real interest was in people and healing I went on to study and practice remedial massage during my twenties, followed by Traditional Chinese Medicine and finally, for the last eighteen years, psychotherapy.
My psychotherapy practice is influenced and informed by the Hakomi Therapy of Ron Kurtz and both the Jungian and Buddhist strains of Transpersonal Psychology. From this training I have become an Accredited Member of the Centre for Transpersonal Psychology and am UKCP registered. To this I have also added the clinical application of the energetic work of Bob Moore, as taught by Hilmar Schonauer, and my own understanding of the psyche/soma link from my previous training and experience. More recently I have qualified as an EMDR Practitioner, following up a specialisation in trauma. I have also studied Mindfulness based CBT and am a qualifies Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction teacher, qualifying at the University of Wales, Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice. I am also a founding member of The Forum for Contemplative Studies.
My spiritual life shows the same pluralism. I am a student of Dzogchen Buddhism and Hilmar Schonauer’s self development work. I am committed to the value of both meditation and psychotherapy.
Presently, with my psychotherapist husband, I live in Bath and am in private psychotherapy practice. I have contributed an essay in “Body Psychotherapy” (Ed. Staunton, 2001), and also made an extremely small contribution to a book of essays on transpersonal psychotherapy. (Transpersonal Psychotherapy, Theory and Practice, Ed. Wellings and McCormick 2000). I love holidays and cooking.
