About Me

I started my helping journey in 2001 as a support worker. From this my Counselling Journey began in 2003 and as such have dedicated over 20 years to supporting and helping others in the community. During this time I have accrued well over 14,000 hours of clinically supervised practise. Through much of this, I have had the honour of teaching several hundred therapists to step on the path of helping work and to this day, continue to provide trainings and supervisions for therapists in the UK. I have spent much of my career working in the supporting field, in a range of different roles.

My model is broadly humanistic and integrative. I also practise Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Hypnotherapy & Psychosexual therapies.

Psychotherapy & Counselling are talking therapies. it enables you to discuss your problems and any difficult feelings you encounter in a safe, confidential environment. The process is different for everybody, but in general, it is a process people seek when they want to change something in their lives, or simply explore their thoughts and feelings in more depth. The aim is to uncover any root causes and to create a plan of action to either help you to accept, reconcile, or help you to find better ways of coping.

Sometimes this can include spending time exploring the root cause of your issues and where appropriate helping you to gain new skills and perspective to live your life more fully. This can include improving your patterns of relationship towards yourself and others, and learning to gain a broader perspective or more rational outlook on life.

Shamanic Services

Shamanic Journeying is like a meditation but is actually a tool for spiritual growth. When conducting a Journey with or for someone, we are working with an intent to communicate directly with spirit in order to gain insight and clarity, but also to aid with your healing. Connecting to guardian spirits and receiving guidance on how to advance, but it is not limited to this. Through Journeying it is possible to clear negative energies and entities, and reclaim parts of your soul which have been lost or fragmented.

Journeying is assisted by drumming or rattling, which provides a sound frequency and vibration which alters the woken state, in this we can achieve a trance from which the journeys are possible.

Soul Retreival is the process of reclaiming lost or fragmented elements of the soul. Sometimes you find yourself thinking “I haven’t been the same since…’, or you might feel as though there has been something missing in your soul throughout this whole life. Often it can take a little time to feel your full self again after a stressful or traumatic phase, and I am sure you will agree that it is a nice feeling when after a difficult period, we feel like our self again.

In truth, there are times when soul parts do not return of their own accord as they do not know that the particular situation that they were escaping from is no longer relevant and that actually it is safe to return. Soul loss occurs in all the lives we have lived, and as such sometimes we will journey to previous lives to undertake the work. These are powerful ceremonies done within a Drum or rattle journey. There is a full consultation before, and integration is available afterwards.

To this day, in some cultures, the elders will say prayers or carry out rituals if the younger ones hurt themselves, in order to help the soul return back after a trauma.

Extraction is a process which enables the removal of energies which are misplaced, or that do not belong to you. Connecting with spirit guides and animals, and using sounds and frequencies the energy can be pulled out and removed. Sometimes this can be a quiet process, other times sounds may be channelled to assist with the process. For me, my voice is a powerful tool, so it is not uncommon for me to sing in order to maintain a shamanic state and as an offering to my guides and spirit animals.

Once removed, this energy will need to be disposed of (transmuted). This can be done through utilising an appropriate element depending on what is extracted. Once the extraction is performed the space/void left behind will need to be filled in order to prevent any other unwanted energy from taking up occupancy there. Sometimes this can be through providing an energy patch, other times a soul retrieval will be needed & performed during the ceremony.

Chakra Cleansing is the process of opening, cleansing and regaining a balance across your chakra system. This process can include extractions, and energy healings within each chakra. The chakras will be re-closed once cleared to support with keeping your energy balanced for some time afterwards. A variety of methods are used to achieve this, including energy healing, extraction and sometimes the placement of power animals to help assist in managing wellbeing on a physical level. It is not uncommon for messages to come through from spirit during these processes, which often provide insights into how the balance has been lost or how the person can restore inner calm.

Feather Stone Healing is the use of feathers and stones to conduct a Energy Healing. Energy Healing is a natural and ancient form of healing that restores and balances the flow of energy within the mind, body, spirit, and soul. Through this you can achieve deep relaxation, feelings of peace, wellbeing, and inner security. As such it relieves stress and anxiety, can help to manage chronic pain conditions and aid restful sleeping patterns. It is also a great way for supporting spiritual growth.

The treatment begins with a body scan, done using a feather. The feather is a Powerful tool used to scan and to remove unwanted energies within and around the body. Stones will then be positioned on and around the body, which act as sponges and soak up dusty or problematic areas which are causing a lack of balance. Then we will undertake an energy healing and rebalancing process. This is channelling energy and pure unconditional love into and around the body.

In this way we are understand the connection between the physical, emotional, auric and ancestral bodies. The cleanse is multi-faceted and can include the need for soul retrieval and energy healing. This is because the cleanse may leave gaps/voids behind which need careful attention so that unwanted energies don’t take up residency. However, this is optional and bespoke to your personal needs.

Feather Stone Healing is considered a gentle introduction to Shamanic Healing. It is ideal as a gift for someone. Gift vouchers are available so please get in touch if you would like to do this.

Musical Channelling, a personal gift of mine is the ability to channel sounds & spoken word direct from spirit. For me, this comes in the forms of song. This work has resulted in being invited into, or hosting ceremonies where these teachings can be received.

As a one-to-one service, we would open sacred space together set intentions and go into a Shamanic state. This often begins with the use of drums and rattles, but then integrates healing sounds and guitar to assist with the messages from spirit. You may be wanting clarity around something, or wanting general advice around your spiritual development. Either way this can be a deep meaningful process

I often host ceremonies or am called to attend ceremonies in order to tune in and share messages from spirit with a group. These are always conducted within safe sacred spaces, where we are protected and able to receive such messages.

If this interests you either as a 1-2-1 basis, or if you would like to discuss me in assisting in ceremonies that you hold, then please get in touch. So far, this work has called me to attend in ceremonies in many countries all over the world.

Cacao Ceremony is a service provided for individuals, couples, and groups. Cacao is a beautiful Elixir, plant medicine which opens our minds and hearts, and as such facilitates both spiritual and personal growth.

We will open sacred space, set intentions and Drink a full ceremonial dose of Cacao. We will then tune into spirit and use this as a means to explore your concern. These experiences are often use a mixture of shamanic activities to assist the process alongside the use of therapeutic and guided conversations.

I run a range of group experiences across the Northwest. Details of events and opportunities can be found here.

Cacao Therapy is an integration of service between Psychotherapy and the role and use of Cacao. Cacao is a beautiful plant medicine which has been used for thousands of years as a heart opener and helping you to connect with source. By opening sacred space, imbibing Cacao and then entering a therapeutic talking space, it is possible to explore concerns on a deeper level.

Kambo is a purgative medicine meaning it induces vomiting or defecation to eliminate harmful substances and to aid the release of unprocessed energies. The purge can also come in the form of tears or other cathartic release. Kambo helps to remove distortions within the energy field to enable a natural healing process to unfold.

Kambo is a secretion from one of the largest Hylid frogs known as the Giant Green Monkey Tree Frog, aka Phyllomedusa Bicolor. The secretion contains many properties which can aid healing. Described as a “Fantastic chemical cocktail with potential medical applications, unequalled by any other amphibian (Vittorio Erspamer 1986). These chemicals are peptides and are applied through the Lymphatic system via small burns (Gates) through the skin. Whilst in the jungle it is called medicine that should not be confused with the western definition. Today, Kambo is used by the Kaxinawa, Amahuaca, Katukina, Kulina, Yawanawa, Matses as an approach to a range of spiritual and physical issues.

Music and Wellbeing Events

I have been facilitating groups, teaching, and hosting community gatherings for over 20 years now, and absolutely love to create spaces where community can build and where a supportive environment can be fostered.

In 2018 I started to drink Ceremonial Cacao. This is a raw organic unprocessed Chocolate that is known for its physical and emotional benefits. This helped me enormously and became a part of my self-care routine. After a while, a training opportunity came up with a medicine woman in Bali around how to use Cacao therapeutically and spiritually and hold sacred spaces to help others. I jumped at the chance. My plan was to deepen my connection with the medicine and potentially hold circles in the community.

When the Pandemic hit, I came up with the idea of blending Mental Health support with my work with Cacao. I started holding therapeutic spaces in Liverpool and they were very successful. Since then, I have been honing this craft and developing indoor and outdoor opportunities with Cacao ever since.

I offer a range of Workshops and Ceremonies. Details can be found here:
