(Counselling/Psychotherapy;  Voicework Teacher;  Gong Sound Therapy)

An experienced, qualified counsellor, I specialise in exploring the healing power of voice with individuals and groups.   My vision is for everyone to feel clear and strong and to become FULLY alive.

In 1997, I completed an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy which focussed on the person-centred approach. It was during this course that I had begun to discover the importance of the voice and how empowering voicework can be, and so embarked on various trainings to enable me to teach this as well as how to use the voice as a tool for healing and transformation. This I have been doing since 1997, the latest development, in 2009, being to learn about sound therapy using gongs.

Also in 2009, I opened Being Sound Holistic Health in Leytonstone, and I am looking forward to developing this for therapies and workshops over the coming years.

My experience as a teacher of secondary school mathematics, adult education, home and hospital teaching, training women for support work in schools, as well as teaching English to bilingual students in both primary and adult education has given me a broad outlook and a sensitive understanding of a variety of backgrounds and cultures.

I have a basic trust in a person’s ability to develop and to realise her/his full potential, given a supportive relationship. I aim to provide such a relationship, offering conditions to promote an individual’s growth.
