'...grant me the serenity to accept
the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference'

"Reinhold Niebur"

Meditation, yoga and the Bach Flower Remedies became part of my life when I was still in my teens. Finding a balance between the natural and spiritual world and the material and academic world has been part of my personal challenge. I have always had a sense that there is more to our lives than material success and achievement, believing that we have within us a natural joy and serenity. Sometimes we need guidance to find this because it is so easy to be seduced by the apparent riches of the outside world when what we long for is really within us.

In my own search for truth and meaning I have learned much about alternative medicines and different religions and belief systems, always being aware that it is impossible to separate the mind and the body. True healing must be holistic and many physical diseases derive from emotional dis-ease.

I worked as a lawyer in London until becoming a mother. During this time I studied with The Faculty of Astrological Studies and obtained their certificate. I was also taught by a former student of Liz Greene (co-founder of The Centre For Psychological Astrology).

Returning to work and still wishing to support clients through difficult times I trained at The Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling Education receiving their Diploma and later Advanced Diploma. I am trained in the Transpersonal approach which encompasses the psychology of the West and the spirituality of the East recognising that each individual has potential and a soul purpose.

Since I have lived in the West Country I have studied Shamanic healing and teachings at Shamanka and hold the school's basic and advanced certificates.

I am a Registered Bach Flower Remedy Practitioner . A Reiki Master and hold a qualification in Colour healing.

In my work with clients I draw from skills drawn from my trainings. Hands -on healing stands alone and would never form part of psychotherapy or counselling.

I live and work in a tranquil part of Dorset seeing clients one to one. I also run personal growth workshops and classes in astrology.

I receive regular supervision and continue my professional development in accordance with BACP and UKCP regulations
