I began working with themes of change in the corporate and entrepreneurial sectors, and subsequently spent five years coaching people who had encountered mental health difficulties. Along the way, I learnt that some of the challenges of human experience can be explored by incorporating awareness of the body and the breath.
Having already trained in anatomy, physiology and massage in 2002, I spent three years training in a body and breathwork technique known as Amanae, and then a further seven years working and training with professionals from a body psychotherapy background to acquire a relational style of working with clients.
More recently I have co-created foundation and practitioner training courses entitled Conscious Breathwork for the Heart in partnership with Ruth Hoskins. I take regular training courses to continue developing and expanding my understanding of my work, and I receive regular supervision.


I believe that an approach of humility is valuable when it comes to this work, and that there are always new layers of experience and understanding to discover. My own long-term psychotherapeutic process and my training have given me a valuable reference point for some of the issues and difficulties that my clients encounter.
