About me.

My approach to health is rooted in both professional training and personal experience. Having spent much of my life navigating challenges linked to complex PTSD and the mental-physical degradation that came with it, I developed an understanding of how closely the mind and body are connected. Through that journey, I often found that support systems treated mental and physical health separately, which left me only partly understood and obviously couldn't treat the whole me.

That experience greatly shaped the way I work today.

I truly believe that lasting wellbeing comes from addressing the whole person—mental, physical, and nutritional health together. For well over 25 years, I have self studied psychology and the human body, initially and perhaps unconsciously to better understand myself, and then over time, to support others in a meaningful and practical way.

I later formalised this path by completing a diploma in psychology and training to Level 2 in Human Givens Psychotherapy. My introduction to Human Givens several years ago (by an amazing practitioner) was a turning point for me—it provided a clear, structured, and evidence-based approach that brought together so much I had been exploring for years. It continues to underpin my work and life today. Combining this approach with my own knowledge of physical health and nutrition was a real game changer for me.

I am currently progressing toward Level 3 qualification (expected completion in 2026) which would then allow me to treat more serious or complex issues like bipolar and schizophrenia.. At present, I only work with clients experiencing mild to moderate issues such as, anxiety, depression, addiction, and a range of more common mental health challenges. As I continue to build my clinical experience, I offer free sessions as part of my ongoing training and journey to level 3.

Alongside my mental health work, I have a background in physical training. I have been involved in strength training since the age of 18, and I am a qualified gym instructor and personal trainer. I have also dedicated myself to martial arts, earning a black belt in Ninjitsu and currently working towards black belts in both Taekwondo and Kickboxing.

For me, martial arts are not about aggression or ego—they are about commitment, discipline, control  and respect. These principles strongly influence how I approach both physical and mental wellbeing. 

Balance, yin and yang and flow.

Everything I do is grounded in the belief that the mind and body cannot successfully be treated in isolation. A holistic, integrated approach is essential for lasting wellbeing.

Nutrition is another key part of my work. I hold a qualification in nutrition and place great importance on how food (including vitamins and minerals) supports both body and mind. As Hippocrates said, "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." This philosophy remains highly relevant today especially given our often nutritionally poor modern diet.

My aim is simple: to offer a safe space where you are understood as a whole person, and to provide practical, compassionate support that reflects that. Completely private, confidential and non judgemental.

If you feel this approach may suit or benefit you, I offer a free 15-minute call to explore your needs and determine whether we are the right fit. 

Note, I am offering the psychotherapy at no charge at this time however general counselling and physical exercise and nutrition are all chargeable at normal rates.

You don't have to walk this walk alone. Physical and mental health is the fundamental right for all of us.

 Enjoy life. Be well.
