The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature. You must give up the life you planned in order to have the life that is waiting for you.

At Ensouled Therapy, I believe in a soul led psychotherapy approach; in sacred connection to nature, community, self, soul and spirit and that it is the disconnection from these realms that causes so much suffering in ourselves, communities and in the world. 

My therapeutic approach is anchored in the hopeful idea that, as in nature, we all embody an innate drive to live in a wholeness of being. It recognises and honours all the way we learn to protect ourselves from wounding and in doing so, may prevent us from living more fully and vulnerably. Grounded in deep compassion, I guide you through the beautiful practice of coming to listen, know, witness and love all the parts of your being.   

I believe that we don’t enter therapy to be fixed or improved. We enter therapy to learn to come home to our deeper truths, to learn to live a life ensouled. 

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, weaving together the work of Internal Family Systems, transpersonal psychology, dreaming, creative, mythic, somatic and nature-based practices to support clients to come home to their deeper wisdom.

I have a special interest in developmental trauma and the way it can limit our experience of living wholly in the world.  I also have a focus on the many gates of grief and the difficulty of living in current cultural context and the way it prevents us from living with more depth and meaning.

To know me, you must know my soul. 

I am a soulful, sensitive, curious and adventurous woman, dreamer, fledgling writer and poet, tree climber, star gazer, river sitter, mother animal lover and psychotherapist. 

My life’s work has been to come home to the truth of who I am, fully and wholly, and to help others to do the same. This is no mean feat in a world that is collapsing, and benefits from keeping us numb and disconnected. 

I was always a sensitive, thoughtful, griefy child who learnt pretty quickly that these weren’t welcome qualities in the worlds I inhabited. I learnt to quietly tuck these qualities away and lean into the much more acceptable and entertaining funny and smart parts of myself.  

The journey back home to the essence of me hasn’t always been easy but it has led me across the world, into the presence of the most exquisite souls and some of the world’s wisest teachers.

Always interested in people, but not quite sold on purely Western models of psychology, I finally found my path studying at Sofia University (previously the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology) in California, where I learnt to weave together Western psychological practices as well as Indigenous, earth-based, somatic, creative and transpersonal approaches to psychotherapy. 

I am deeply influenced by the work and teachings of Carl Jung, Francis Weller, Matt Licata, Bill Plotkin, Martin Shaw, Clarissa Pinkola-Estes and Sharon Blackie. I am ever guided home by the poets; Mary Oliver, Andrea Gibson, David Whyte, John O’Donohue and more recently Jimmy Santiago Baca.
