Integrative
Transpersonal
Psychotherapist
I provide transpersonal and integrative talking therapy, in person or online, for individuals seeking a deeper sense of authenticity and connection.
Through creative and interpretive approaches, I support you in exploring the inner patterns shaping your life — guiding you toward clarity, healing, and transformation.
My practice is inclusive and affirming, welcoming LGBTQ+ and mixed-heritage clients, and all those exploring identity, belonging, and self-expression.
My work and insights have been featured on BBC podcasts, at BDNG events, and within national and international conferences, where I’ve spoken on the connections between skin, identity, and emotional wellbeing.
Skin Support
Psychodermatology: Where Skin and Self Meet
Our skin often tells the stories we struggle to put into words.
It holds memory, emotion, and identity — sometimes becoming the canvas for stress, trauma, or long-held patterns of self-perception.
My work in psychodermatology brings together my clinical background in dermatology and my training in transpersonal integrative psychotherapy. This means I work with both the emotional and physical aspects of skin conditions, creating space to explore how experiences such as anxiety, shame, or self-image can manifest through the skin.
I support clients living with:
- Chronic or stress-related skin conditions (such as eczema, psoriasis, or acne)
- Skin-picking or body-focused repetitive behaviours
- Difficulties with appearance, confidence, or visibility
- Living with others who suffer with skin conditions working
- Transgender individuals experiencing side effect symptoms
- The emotional impact of medical or cosmetic dermatology treatments
Through creative and interpretive approaches, we work to understand what your skin might be expressing, reconnecting you to your body’s wisdom and restoring a sense of agency, compassion, and calm.
My psychotherapeutic work has been shared through BBC podcasts, BDNG events, and recent national conferences, where I’ve spoken about the relationship between skin, identity, and emotional wellbeing.
Courses and Events
Collective Learning for Growth, Identity & Wellbeing
Alongside my private practice, I design and deliver group intensives, workshops, and professional development programmes that bring together the emotional, creative, and transpersonal dimensions of growth.
These courses offer a space for deep, experiential learning — blending psychological insight with reflective and creative methods to explore themes such as authenticity, identity, belonging, and embodied confidence.
Drawing on my background in psychotherapy, dermatology, and transpersonal studies, I also offer specialist sessions on psychodermatology — understanding the connection between skin, emotion, and self-image, and how our inner life shapes what we present to the world.
I have been invited to speak and teach at national conferences, BBC podcasts, and BDNG events, sharing insights on the intersection of skin, identity, and emotional wellbeing.
Upcoming courses and workshops include:
- The Skin We’re In – Exploring the relationship between identity, emotion, and the body
- Authenticity & the Self – Transpersonal pathways to deeper connection
- Creative Practice for Therapists – Integrating interpretive and embodied approaches in clinical work
All events are designed to be inclusive and affirming, welcoming participants from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQ+ and mixed-heritage communities.
Groups & collaboration
Communities & Clinical Collaboration.
Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with a wide range of communities and professional groups — from frontline therapeutic care to international clinical innovation. What connects all of these experiences is a commitment to dignity, visibility, and healing in context.
My early work was shaped by time spent with refugee communities and with people living with HIV and AIDS during the 1990s, where I witnessed the deep intersection between trauma, identity, stigma, and resilience. These experiences continue to inform my inclusive, trauma-informed practice today — one that holds space for complex histories and collective healing.
In parallel, I have worked extensively within primary and secondary care settings, where I experienced the bridging psychological insight with clinical dermatology. My collaborations include partnerships with pharmaceutical and cosmeceutical organisations, where I’ve developed education programmes, clinical trials, and communication strategies focused on skin health, emotional wellbeing, and patient-centred care.
This unique integration of psychotherapy expertise and over a decade of medical alliance allows me to bring a nuanced understanding to both my individual client work and group teaching — helping clients and professionals alike to explore how mind, body, and identity interact within the healing process.
