About Me

Good Humans Quietly Focus And Evolve. I know this because I have lived it.

My life has been complex, compelling, and at times, genuinely hard. There have been periods of collapse personal, professional, relational. The kind that don't announce themselves politely. The kind that reorganise everything. I didn't just study change. I have been changed. Repeatedly. And each time, I did what I now understand to be the only real path forward.  I got quiet, I focused, and I evolved.

I call myself and am a Change Strategist. That is the most honest and complete description of what I do. Everything else the qualifications, the frameworks, the modalities sits underneath that. I help people move. Not quickly, not superficially, but structurally and sustainably.

I am a qualified systemic psychotherapist, Tavistock-trained and informed, with advanced practice across organisations, families and couples. I am a sound therapist working with crystal bowls. I am a Circle of Security Facilitator. I am a trainee Hatha yoga teacher, YMCA Level 3, working with somatic approaches and breathwork. I am the developer of the Social Cultural Therapeutic Strategy™ a framework built on the understanding that identity, culture, belonging and relational systems are not the background to someone's difficulties. They are the terrain.

More than 25 years of working inside demanding human systems Local Authority, NHS, specialist mental health services formed my rigour and my ethics. But it was my life that formed my understanding.  I hold a PGDip in Evidence Based Parenting Programmes with Supervision and Leadership and have worked with Middlesex University and Save the Children as a clinical supervisor and trainer in the nationwide rollout of the FAST™ programme. This is not peripheral to my practice it is a pillar of how I work with families, parents, and the complex ruptures that can occur between them.

My expertise extends into supervision and leadership I design and deliver coaching and clinical supervision models for staff and stakeholders. I have trained practitioners, supervised clinicians, and built the infrastructures that allow good therapeutic work to happen consistently and ethically at an organisational level."

I have lived with chronic pain for longer than I allowed myself to acknowledge. For years I masked it overtraining in the gym, heavy lifting, putting the signals down to exertion rather than listening to what my body was actually saying. Eighteen months ago it stopped allowing me to ignore it. It flattened me.  And, in being flattened, I learned something that no training programme had fully prepared me for.

Chronic physical pain recruits deeply engrained emotional transgressions and battle scars and becomes a conduit that amplifies how the body processes both. They are not separate systems. They never were. Living inside that reality, rather than just observing it professionally, changed the quality of my thinking and my practice in ways I could not have arrived at otherwise.

Many of the people I work with know this landscape, not always through their own body, but through a partner, a child, a parent. Physical pain, emotional pain, relational pain. They move through the same channels. I understand that from the inside now, not just from the literature.

Sound came to me not as an add-on but as an answer to something words couldn't resolve. Some experiences live in the body before they ever reach language. Crystal bowls don't ask you to articulate what's wrong. They ask your nervous system to soften — and then something else becomes possible. I bring my systemic training into that space. The container I hold is clinically informed, intentionally small, and structurally designed for people who are serious about change.  Alongside sound, I work with somatic approaches and breathwork, both deepened through my yoga training, because the body is not a footnote to the mind. It is a primary site of intelligence, memory, and possibility.

As a Circle of Security Facilitator, I work with parents and caregivers to explore something both simple and profound — the way we were parented becomes the template we parent from. That template can be examined, understood, and where necessary, changed. This work sits at the heart of what I do around parental estrangement — one of the most painful and least spoken about relational ruptures there is. The attachment bond doesn't disappear when a relationship breaks down. It keeps asking to be understood.

The Social Cultural Therapeutic Strategy™ exists because real life doesn't happen in a clinical vacuum. Identity, culture, belonging, relational systems — these are not peripheral to someone's pain. They are central to it. Any practice that doesn't account for the full context a person lives within is working with an incomplete picture. I don't work with incomplete pictures.

So if you are considering working with me in a sound bath, in therapy, in a structured group here is what you are actually investing in.

Someone who has studied human systems for over two decades and has also been subject to them. Someone whose qualifications were not acquired in calm conditions. Someone who understands that real change is slow, embodied, contextual, and worth every bit of the discomfort it asks of you.

You are investing in yourself. I am simply the most qualified person I know to help you do that.
