Space with me to understand your hopes, questions and concerns. We listen to protective parts, ask for their permission and explore fears and “what ifs”. Your needs, boundaries and what would help you feel supported belong in the preparation.

Groups & shared experiences
Space to meet yourself with curiosity, connect with others and explore what matters. Some experiences are shared in a group; others can be shaped around a couple or family.
Shaped around the people taking part
I offer bespoke workshops and shared experiences shaped around your group, what matters to you and the support you are looking for. Some work suits a small ongoing group; other experiences can be brought into a workshop, creative gathering or retreat. Family sessions with children are private to one family; after-school youth groups have their own school-based setting.
IFS is central to my approach, alongside creative exploration, play, sandtray, imagery and relational work. You do not need to know the language of IFS or arrive with a clear story. We can talk together about what would fit the group and help each person feel supported.
Shame, belonging and self-compassion
An adult group exploring the critic, the part that hides and the part that feels it must get everything right. We can be curious about what they are protecting, alongside the hurt their messages can carry.
Creative exploration, sandtray, imagery, reflection and IFS offer different ways to connect with our experience. There is room to work with an image or a scene, listen inwardly or learn through witnessing someone else. You do not need to tell your story aloud or disclose painful details to belong. The parts that find being seen difficult deserve a place too.
Parenting with our own parts in mind
A group for parents and carers who want to understand their own reactions as well as their child’s needs. Fear, guilt, anger and exhaustion can become loud when someone we love is struggling.
Explore protective parts, caring boundaries and finding a way back after a difficult moment. There is space for neurodivergent children and parents, sensory needs, masking and the pressure to get parenting right. This is support for adults; children’s private experiences do not need to become group material.
Family connection through play
Work for one family together, with children and their parents or carers. These sessions are private to your family. Using play, sandtray, drawing and curiosity, we can make room for different voices. A scene or a story can express something that is hard to explain in words.
We consider who takes part, the children’s ages and needs, and what feels safe for each person. Children have room to choose how they join in. No one needs to explain every creation or share something that feels private. The work respects each person’s experience and the relationships around them.
Couples: finding our way back to each other
Seeing familiar defences and protections in another couple can be a deeply normalising experience. We may recognise the part that pursues, withdraws, defends or tries to keep everyone happy, and feel less alone in our own pattern. Witnessing others can open compassion for ourselves and for our partner.
The work can also feel difficult. Parts may feel exposed, ashamed or afraid of being judged. Those moments are held with care and support; we do not push past a protective concern. Being met with compassion when shame appears can become a meaningful moment of connection and healing.
Partners of all genders and sexual orientations are welcome, including straight and LGBTQIA+ couples. Some learning happens privately with your partner; demonstrations may offer an opportunity to volunteer or witness, with clear agreement about what is shared. We first consider whether a group or private couples therapy is the right setting. Fear of a partner’s response deserves careful attention.
Youth groups in schools
After-school groups use rhythm, music, movement, play and creative expression to support young people in ways that speak to them. There is room for different sensory needs, communication styles and ways of joining in.
Building resources around children can support them, their parents and carers, their teachers and the wider school community. These groups are arranged with the school, separately from private family sessions. Explore after-school youth groups →
Nature, parts and room to breathe
A nature-based gathering with space for gentle noticing, reflection and connection. A leaf, stone or changing landscape may offer a way to explore an inner experience without needing to explain everything.
This could include time together and quiet moments of your own, with creative materials or journalling if useful. Nature does not have to mean a long walk or physical challenge. Access, weather, sensory preferences and a comfortable place to pause would help shape what is possible.
Inner journeys without substances
A supported retreat experience that brings together individual preparation, preparation with the group, a whole day of held space for the inner journey, and individual and group integration. Preparation and integration take place separately from the whole-day journey. It draws on the care and continuity around psychedelic retreat work, using IFS, music, imagery, meditation and creative exploration without a psychedelic medicine. There is space for depth, without a particular experience to achieve.
Build familiarity with the people and setting, explore how we take part and agree boundaries around privacy, consent and support. There is room for the parts that want connection and the parts that are unsure about a group.
A whole day of held space, with time for music, imagery, creative expression, meditation and IFS, as well as rest and quiet. I hold the space with attention to what each person needs, so there is room to stay with what emerges without rushing. You can keep your eyes open, pause or choose another way to take part. All parts are welcome, including those that feel hopeful, curious, unsure or not ready.
Separate integration sessions offer space with me individually and with the group to reflect on what emerged, including what feels unclear or unfinished. We explore what needs care and how any understanding might find a place in everyday life, without rushing to give the experience a meaning.
This UK retreat is substance-free. Medicines such as psilocybin and MDMA are subject to UK drug controls and licensing requirements. The experience offered here brings preparation, a held day and integration together without those medicines. UK controlled-drug guidance.
If there is interest, I may explore a medicine-assisted retreat in a country where the particular substance, setting and work are lawful. Any retreat would be offered only in accordance with that country’s laws and professional regulations, and any applicable UK requirements, with my role, appropriate clinical support, safety arrangements and insurance cover confirmed beforehand. This is a possibility to explore, with no overseas medicine retreat currently available to book.

Witnessing and being witnessed
In workshops I have offered and attended, people have often described witnessing and being witnessed as among the most powerful experiences. You do not have to be the person in the chair for something to move within you.
Some workshops offer the opportunity to volunteer for a demonstration. As someone else meets a part of themselves, you may notice a similar feeling, memory or protective response in your own system. Our inner work can unfold alongside theirs: a parallel process, with room for your own meaning. Seeing someone met with care may also help a part of you imagine receiving that care.
Volunteering is a choice. We discuss what it involves and what feels safe to share, with permission to pause or stop. Witnesses are invited to respect privacy and listen without interpreting or advising. There is space to reflect and receive support afterwards, whether you volunteered, watched or noticed that you needed to step away.
Taking part in a way that respects you
Some people connect through speaking; others through drawing, noticing or quiet reflection. There is room to pass, pause and ask for what helps. You do not have to close your eyes, sit still or share a personal story to participate.
For a therapeutic group, we discuss suitability, shared boundaries and privacy before beginning. A group can offer connection, while individual support may be a better place for some of the work. We can be curious together about what fits you.
