What’s the therapy background you bring to The Path Practice?

I have over 15 years’ experience as a therapist, with humanistic therapy at the heart of my work. This approach recognises you as the expert in your own life, and my role is to support your autonomy and help you find a way of being that feels true to you.

Alongside this, I draw on training in interfaith spiritual care, to offer an integrated approach to therapy. This work supports the development of a more peaceful, grounded, and engaged relationship with yourself, others, and your life circumstances. You can read more about the Path Principles, which are the core of my integrated approach here.

I am also a qualified and experienced clinical supervisor, supporting the work of other therapists, and I am professionally accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society.

What is your own Spiritual or Philosophical perspective?

My perspective has been shaped by many influences, beginning with my training in person-centred therapy. This taught me to understand us as deeply relational beings, shaped throughout life by the quality of our relationships. At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship itself, offering a safe and caring space in which growth can continue to unfold.

I am also influenced by Buddhist and Yogic philosophies, which emphasise awareness and cultivating a kinder, more accepting relationship with ourselves, others, and life as it is. These ideas sit closely alongside Stoic philosophy, which reminds us that while pain, loss, and fear are an inevitable part of being human, we often have more choice in how we relate to these experiences than we realise.

While these influences have shaped my therapeutic principles, I do not work from a fixed spiritual or religious belief system. Instead, I am inspired by interfaith perspectives that honour each person’s perspectives and beliefs on their own terms. I am far more interested in what feels meaningful and supportive for you than in promoting any particular worldview, and I’m always open to sharing my own perspective when it feels helpful.

What inspired the concept of The Path Practice?

At the heart of my Spiritual Care training, which I am continuing to undertake with the Sati Centre in California, is the understanding that we all have fundamental spiritual or existential needs—such as meaning, purpose, identity, autonomy, and connection. When life feels difficult, one or more of these areas often asks for our attention, yet it can be hard to find a space where these deeper questions can be explored openly and without pressure.

Meeting these needs often involves facing some of the more challenging aspects of being human, including uncertainty, emotional overwhelm, and difficulties with self-trust or self-acceptance. The Path Principles—Presence, Acceptance, Trust, and Home—draw on wisdom found across many philosophical and spiritual traditions, and offer a grounded framework for relating to these challenges with greater steadiness, compassion, and peace.
