I see myself primarily as helping you to tell your story and respond better to the challenges you are facing. I am a fully trained Teacher of the Alexander Technique (MSTAT) and Psychodrama Psychotherapist (BPA/UKCP registered). Since 1998, I have worked in my own practice in the Southampton area of the South of England. I also work internationally and publish peer-reviewed papers.
For 15 years I taught the Alexander Technique as an Associate Lecturer on the Performance BA (Hons) degree at Southampton Solent University. I studied Critical Pedagogy at Darmstadt and Copenhagen University. I also have a BA (Hons) degree from Manchester University in Social Anthropology, Sociology, Philosophy. I trained for three years as an Alexander teacher in Copenhagen and at the West Sussex Alexander School where I qualified in 1998.
My special interests include group processes, the importance of the body in communication, physical contact work in psychotherapy, identity issues in the digital age and the relationship between psychotherapy and learning.

Psychodrama is a creative and action-based psychotherapy, in which individuals can explore and work through issues - past, present and future - in a group setting through the use of dramatic action.
It is also offered one-to-one.
Psychodrama works with guided creative action methods which allows the whole person - mental and physical - to be involved in the work.
It is a psychotherapy that embraces the whole person - behaviourally, physically, psychologically, cognitively, emotionally.
As such it has profound depth.

I feel more personal growth can be achieved in one session of psychodrama than in several sessions of 'talking' therapies.
This is because you can see what it is that you are trying to work through, it brings it out of your head and enables you to have an altogether different perspective on it.
It's really a very powerful process, even in a one-to-one session although I found being part of a Group a more multi-dimensional experience because in a way everyone is working at the same time.
With grateful thanks to Doris Prgel-Bennett, Psychodrama Psychotherapist and all the brave, courageous women in the "Southampton Body Stories" class of 2016, who supported me in my own healing journey.

As a PSYCHO-PHYSICAL MENTOR & EDUCATOR I work with the principles of the Alexander Technique to guide people to a better 'use' of themselves through movement.
With a holistic basis, the Alexander Technique teaches the skilful "use of the self": how we inhabit and care for our embodies selves; how we move, how we breathe, how we learn, how we organise our awareness and focus of attention and, above all, how we choose our reactions in increasingly demanding situations.
It is a practical technique that involves you becoming more aware of your posture, movement and thinking in order to overcome unhelpful habits.
