Through my study of Psychology at university, I became aware of a tendency to pathologise the experience of being human, which, for me, did not fully embrace the breadth and depth that this brings.

This awareness ignited a life long quest to understand what it is to be human, and to consider what capacities make us unique as individuals and connect or unite us as a community of people across the globe.

This question led me to various trainings and work with children of different ages and circumstances, with the wish to discover how we learn and develop, and how we can best express who we are in the world.

My journey extended to include many years devoted to nurturing a family, and laterally to the field of adult education as a counsellor, qualifying in 2013 in Psychophonetics. I am currently a member of IAPP (International Association of Psychophonetics Practitioners).

Alongside counselling I currently run parent and child groups in Stroud.
