About
I have trained extensively in Somatic Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy and Psychosexual Therapy and specialise in working with trauma and addiction.
Since 2003, I have practiced in clinics across Sussex including 12 years in a residential hospital within the NHS. I am accredited through the Craniosacral Therapy Association and follow their codes of ethics. I previously taught Craniosacral Therapy for over a decade and now teach post graduate workshops for therapists in the UK.
I’m available at The Open Door Clinic on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I also work in Brighton and am contactable on 07731 549836.
Approach
I work with people who want to feel more comfortable in their own skin. They may be feeling overwhelmed, numb or disconnected and experiencing symptoms of PTSD. I also work with people who are in recovery from various forms of addiction.
My approach combines somatic (body-based) and psychological approaches to cultivate a deeper physical presence with more awareness of the relationship between body and mind.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy is a hands-on therapy with gentle, sustained contact through the client’s clothing. Cranial work offers a way of being held that encourages presence and feelings of comfort so that physical tension, emotions and psychological states can be explored and processed.
Somatic Trauma Therapy
Somatic Trauma Therapy is a psychosomatic approach to exploring the bodily responses to traumatic experiences. Exploring how our psychological and emotional states are expressed in the body cultivates awareness and also processes the residual effects of trauma that can remain long after the initial traumatic experience.
Psychosexual Therapy
Psychosexual Therapy offers a space to explore the ways in which sex affects our relationships and sense of self. I work with people who are recovering from trauma, people who are experiencing sexual difficulties in their relationships and people who are in recovery from a range of sexual addictions. My approach is holistic with a respect and sensitivity to the whole person and the importance of boundaries.
