My professional background includes training as a Psychologist, in Australia, where I was registered and in good standing with the Psychology Board of Australia, from 2007; prior to relocating to the UK in 2010, where I received further training as a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist at Kings College London and registered  with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy (BABCP) until 2019 when I was no longer living in the UK. I have also completed significant additional training and personal practice in mindfulness, healing meditation, life coaching and other approaches to healing and integration. I am certified in Dr Gabor Maté's Compassionate Inquiry, Magnetic Mind Coaching, and have completed additional training in Trauma and Somatics Coaching, which is derived from Somatic Experiencing. I have been working extensively with plant medicines since 2011, and am currently Head of Integration for Soltara Healing Center, one of the premier plant medicine retreat centers in the world.
