About Me

I'm a West Midlands-born, working-class woman with Northern Irish heritage. I grew up in a wonderfully complex family system, which probably explains why I became fascinated by relationships. I'mnow based in North Bristol with my long term parter. I love whimsy, belly laughs, good coffee, and conversations that leave us a little different than when they began.

Like all of us, I'm shaped by many stories, relationships and communities. Some I've inherited, some I've chosen, and many I'm still discovering.

My Work

I'm a trauma-informed somatic coach and workshop facilitator, currently training on a four-year MSc in Systemic Psychotherapy.

I'm curious by the ecology of being human, how our bodies, relationships, communities and the wider world are constantly shaping one another.

 

My approach blends somatic practice with systemic thinking, creating space to slow down, notice patterns and discover new ways of relating to ourselves, others and the world around us.

Whether I'm working with an individual, a team or a community, I'm interested in creating the conditions where people feel safe enough to pause, become curious and gently explore what their body, relationships and environment might be communicating.

Rather than striving to fix, optimise or perform, my work invites a different pace, one that values presence, play, imagination and connection. I believe meaningful change rarely happens in isolation, but through the relationships we cultivate with ourselves, each other and the wider systems we're part of.

My practice draws from systemic psychotherapy, somatic practice and mindfulness-based approaches, including Focusing, authentic movement, conscious improvisation, breathwork, voice work, meditation and ritual.
