Welcome to my journey as a psychotherapist, where mindfulness and personal growth intertwine. My story begins at the Karuna Institute in 1993, a place where mindfulness has been a cornerstone since the 1970s. Guided by Maura Sills, a renowned advocate of mindfulness in therapy, I embraced this approach wholeheartedly. My accreditation from the UKCP in 2003 marked a significant milestone, solidifying my commitment to Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy.
My educational path didn’t end there. Delving deeper into Core Process Psychotherapy, I completed my studies at Karuna, culminating in a Master of Arts in 2002. Since then, I have been a dedicated practitioner in Southampton, helping individuals and couples navigate their emotional landscapes. My approach is unique, blending my background as a Systems Engineer with insights from Spirituality, Buddhism, and Social Responsibility. This eclectic mix fuels my passion for counselling and psychotherapy, which I practice from my home in Shirley, Southampton, alongside my family.
In addition to therapy, I also focus on mindfulness supervision, having completed a Certificate with OPAL. I offer individual and small-group supervision, aiming to foster a supportive environment for growth and learning. My practice is currently based in the serene surroundings of The Royal Mail House in Southampton, where I offer tailored sessions for individuals and couples.
