I am privileged to have had the benefit of study, practice and experiential learning with the following teachers, colleges and communities that all influence my wayfinding practice.

2011: Foundation in Counselling & Psychotherapy

2012-2017: Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, UKCP accredited training*

2024 - 2025: Trainee psychotherapist 

From 2012 to 2017 I fulfilled 80% of the diploma requirements. I had to step away due to family health issues and am returning in 2025 as a trainee psychotherapist to complete the remaining 20% of the course in order to qualify.

This developmentally-oriented, neuroscientifically-informed model, as outlined in Dr. Laurence Heller’s book, co-written with Aline LaPierre, PsyD, Healing Developmental Trauma, emerged out of earlier psychotherapeutic orientations including Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Attachment Theory, Cognitive Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing®, and bridges traditional psychotherapy with body-mind approaches within a context of relational practice. NARM is a mindfulness-based clinical treatment, as its method is grounded in a phenomenological approach to addressing identity and consciousness of self – who we truly are beneath these patterned ways of relating to ourselves and the world.
