I have a degree in Experimental Psychology from The University of Oxford, and an MSc in Psychological Research Methods and Data Science from the University of Sheffield; both of which I pursued due to a passionate interest for understanding the mind.
I have trained and volunteered with Nightline and Samaritans, where I began to notice the power of spacious, compassionate listening with no agenda to change anything. I also have a Level 2 Counselling Qualification, and have completed the Level 1 Internal Family Systems training, and the 6-month Foundations of the IFS model training.
I am a passionate meditation teacher; I have a decade and a half of meditation experience. I have spent over a year on meditation retreats, and have completed a number of teacher training courses. I have trained with Breathworks, with whom I have taught public 8-week mindfulness for stress and mindfulness for chronic pain courses as an associate teacher, Zenways, Unified Mindfulness, and The Mind Illuminated Teacher Training Programme. I’ve been coaching meditation one to one for a number of years and you can find out more about my meditation teaching here. I often use Internal Family Systems in my teaching and have found meditation a deeply compatible modality which has given me deeper and easier access to Self-energy.
