About

Stoughton, West Sussex-based Counsellor and Alternative Therapist

My journey into this work began in 2019, when a curious spark led me to explore what truly makes me me — how my mind works, what shapes my responses, and why I experience the world the way I do. That curiosity became a calling. Along the way I trained in Reiki (Levels 1, 2 and Master), Sound Therapy, Counselling and Wellbeing, and each step has woven together into the work I now offer.

As a counsellor, I work through the lens of Transactional Analysis, with a deep passion for noticing patterns — the stories we tell ourselves, the unconscious roles we play, and the ways we co-create our reality through our thoughts, beliefs, and life view. I support clients in uncovering the unseen dynamics that show up in relationships with others and with the self, gently bringing what is unconscious into awareness. (Counselling services coming in 2027, all other services available now)

My practice is also grounded in ecological and nature-based approaches, for those who feel called to work outdoors or connect with the more-than-human world. For others, traditional therapy indoors may feel safer — and that is just as welcome. Combined with shamanic tools, sound healing, and Reiki, there is space here for every person and every way of healing.

I also offer coaching, for wellbeing and my particular strength and experience is in working with neurodivergent clients. I also offer short workshops and courses that weave together psycho-spiritual and psychological education. Beyond 1:1 work, I run retreats, facilitate groups, and bring wellbeing offerings to festivals — always with the same core intention: connection and safety.

My purpose isn’t to tell you what to do or to fix anything — because you are not broken. You are already whole. My role is simply to walk beside you, to hold the lantern for a moment when the path feels unclear, and to offer a grounded, supportive space where you can find your own way forward.

Come to The Yew Project, and find your way home — back to yourself.

Welcome to The Yew Project

I believe in the healing power of nature and the life-changing impact of compassionate support.

From my private garden cabin in the heart of the South Downs, I offer counselling, coaching, sound therapy, and nature-based practices. My work blends traditional therapeutic approaches with holistic tools, helping you find clarity, resilience, and a deeper connection with yourself.

Whatever brings you here—whether it’s navigating challenges, seeking personal growth, or wanting to reconnect with nature—I am here to walk alongside you with empathy, respect, and care.
