I am an integrative transpersonal therapist in private practice and have worked in counselling services in Sussex and London. My practice supports clients with a wide range of issues and is shaped by my background working in the not-for-profit world and research, on social justice and climate change. Through these experiences, I came to believe that personal wellbeing and the wider systems we are part of are deeply linked.

Alongside my 1:1 work as a therapist, I provide training and support on emotional burnout, post-traumatic stress, ecological grief and related issues to organisations in the not-for-profit world, helping professions, activism and beyond. I also work therapeutically with people on their relationship to money which can be a major issue standing in the way of the world we want to live in and the lives we want to live.

I have provided training for organisations such as the UK National Health Service, the Samaritans, a Swiss humanitarian training provider, a European federation of peace-builders, a Japanese sustainable farming collective, a French Buddhist NGO and a number of British grassroots charities addressing e.g. domestic violence, homelessness and environmental degradation.

I live in Brighton, where I have been settled for over a decade. I was born and raised in Vienna, Austria, with roots in Switzerland and the Netherlands. Having lived and worked in various parts of the world, I bring a deep understanding of intercultural and migratory life experiences and questions of identity and and belonging.

Training and qualifications

I qualified as a psychotherapeutic counsellor from Re-Vision in London. I have also completed training in Compassion-based Therapy and Social Transformation with the Nalanda Institute in New York/Toronto, and in Peter Koenig’s Money Work which draws on Jungian ideas. 

I have taken part in and organised retreats and training in mindfulness, compassion-based meditation, interpersonal communication and other forms of personal development, with valued teachers such as Joel and Michelle Levey, Jill and Richard Broadbent, and Andy Mason. I regularly engage in continued professional development.

My first degree was in political science and I hold an MA in Development Studies from the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex.

Professional associations

I am a clinical member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (membership number 2011190638) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (396892) and adhere to their professional standards and codes of ethics.

I am also a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance.
