For SE students: I am able to provide credit for personal sessions at the intermediate level- please feel free to reach out if this is something you require in your journey towards becoming an SEP. Hi! I am from the UK but have called Vancouver home for over ten years now. I originally trained in Person Centred Counselling while still living in the UK and still feel this was a wonderful foundation from which to build. I have worked for a number of years as an addiction counsellor and this was what initially sparked my interest in trauma work. These two things so often go hand in hand. I trained in Family Constellations Therapy and more recently in Somatic Experiencing as a way to address the trauma that so frequently lies behind our presenting problems. I consider SE a wonderful tool to help explore and integrate traumatic experience held in the body. I am a Master Therapeutic Counsellor with the ACCT as well as an SEP. I have completed several additional trainings in early developmental trauma and touch work including Somatic Regulation and Resilience with Kathy Kain and Steve Tyrell and Touch Skills Training with Kathy Kain. In my spare time I'm an artist, I love to read and learn new things, as well as getting out in nature and enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. I have a long term mindfulness practice that I believe supports me not only in my life but in my work with clients.
