About My Background
From owning two successful businesses in Asia, hitchhiking in Africa at 17, sailing around Malaysia or motorbiking through the Rift Valley, I’ve always had a pioneering spirit and love for adventure and exploring the world.
Art, literature, music and poetry were always very important. I studied philosophy, critical theory and art criticism with City University and Sotheby’s Institute.
However, as a career, I wanted something more. I researched psychotherapy and counselling but something didn't feel quite right.
Then when I came across Life Coaching and NLP in 2006 I immediately resonated with the philosophy and thinking.
You're not a victim of the past. No matter what happened you are so much more.
You have the resources within you to create a happy and meaningful life in the present without a constant never-ending rehashing of the past.
I found this very freeing. Life coaching and NLP wasn't just a career change for me; it was a personal transformation.
When I then came across EMDR I knew I had really found a method to handle past traumas, complex PTSD, neglect and any kind of abuse from the past.
EMDR is beautifully healing, powerfully impacting and everyone who does it feels the change.
Today my personal practice is helping clients compassionately resolving trauma through EMDR, and building an authentic and life through Coaching and NLP.
"No matter your past or where you are, with the right support you can create a life that makes you proud."
My Approach
The past does not define you. No matter how complex your upbringing, or the experiences you've had, you can create a life that is meaningful and that makes you happy today.
We all have within us a sense of who we could be. I believe that you are not broken, and you don’t need fixing.
Irrational behaviours, anxiety, hurt, sadness and depression are all expressions of hidden pain. This doesn't mean something is wrong with you.
EMDR helps you work through and heal the pain from the inside out.
Whether it is overworking, stress, anxiety, lack of confidence or over achieving, EMDR functions to heal the original wounds which means you become free from pain and can begin to relax, feel safe, and thrive.
Willpower or CBT will not work here. Those methods try to work from the outside in to force a change in thinking and behaviour. But you can't think yourself out of pain, anxiety or sadness.
The problem with this is that many clients who undertake a course of CBT feel like they fail here too. But it is not you, it is the methods.
With EMDR & IFS we heal the hidden pain giving rise to these symptoms in the first place.
The result is the problematic behaviours, self-sabotage, sadness and depression, over achieving, anxiety etc, spontaneously resolve itself.
You get to a place of self-compassion, self-understanding and self-acceptance. This fosters a radical new relationship with your Self. One built on kindness and understanding.
