About me:

I’m German-American, grew up in Germany and previously worked as a mental health social worker and in charities in the UK and Ireland. I bring a deep curiosity about therapy, the body, and creativity.

I don’t see people as broken or in need of fixing. More often, something in your experience is asking for attention, and therapy is a way of beginning to listen to it. You don’t need to explain everything or be a certain way. We’ll figure out the process together.

Whether I’m working one-to-one or in a workshop, I pay attention to what’s happening in the moment and make sense of it together: thoughts, feelings, the body and how we relate to others.

I’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapist and Somatic Movement Practitioner (BMCA), working with individuals and couples in Angel, London and online.

I’ve worked extensively in NHS mental health services, and have also supported staff through retreats and supervision. And I’ve taught for 20 years, including with Embody-Move UK, Institut Prozessarbeit Deutschland and King’s College London, where I contributed to research on arts and wellbeing in higher education.

My background includes community arts (MA Goldsmiths) and international workshop facilitation (USA, Palestine, Spain, Germany), which continues to inform the way I work.

I aim to bring a thoughtful, creative and grounded presence to the work, with space for humour, curiosity, and not having everything figured out.
