Welcome. I am sharing a little about my path as I think it is important for you to gain a sense of who you will be working with. Life itself has been my greatest teacher, I believe that’s important for you to know because we are all students of life and on this journey together. My lived experience of overcoming many challenges fills me with love and humility for the shared journey we are all on, I am deeply grateful for this. Following my heart throughout life has brought me to the west coast of Mid Wales where sea, mountains and ancient woodland inspire my own spirituality which is rooted in simplicity and connection to the land, nourished by nature, the elements, movement, and dance.
Becoming a student of the Diamond Approach in 2008 profoundly transformed my relationship with life. It revealed to me that the most valuable journey is the journey inward, to uncover the depths of who we truly are. This deepening strengthens us personally and benefits our relationships and our communities through our increased creativity, power and compassion. The Diamond Approach’s unique and practical method for exploring and integrating spiritual depth into daily life continues to inspire me.
My life experience is complemented by several in-depth trainings and qualifications. I gained extensive experience in mental health through my work with grassroots charities focused on homelessness, ecotherapy, and social forestry. Later, I trained as a Natural Mindfulness Guide, and most recently, I completed an intensive three-year training in Psychosynthesis Counselling (expected Jan 2025) to gain a Postgraduate Diploma accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. This training consists of an in-depth study of psychosynthesis as a model of the human being and its place within individual, interpersonal, social and global contexts. It includes working with Trauma and Addiction, Childhood and the Unconscious, the Body, Family Systems, Gender and Sexuality, ADHD, Self-Realisation and Neuroscience.
Like everyone, I wrestle with the immense challenge of living within a broken and oppressive system that often limits our capacity to be fully authentic. I recognise the impact of societal and systemic forces on the individual and I strive to recognise where I experience privilege in my own life. I endeavour to offer an affirmative and anti-oppressive practice so that your distinct experience can be fully heard.
