About Me
My Practice
My Practice includes Focusing and Somatic Experiencing. I am a BFA (British Focusing Association) Certified Focusing Practitioner, and will start the advanced year of the Somatic Experiencing (SE) practitioner training in April.
I also bring to my practice my own experience of working through significant developmental trauma, as well as 26 years of experience working within holistic social care settings with children and adults with complex support needs.
