About Me
My Practice
My Practice includes Focusing and Somatic Experiencing. I am a BFA (British Focusing Association) Certified Focusing Practitioner, and will complete the advanced year of the Somatic Experiencing (SE) practitioner training in October 2021.
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 and education settings.
