Sessions Offered:

I am a UKCP-registered group and individual psychodrama psychotherapist with extensive experience in hospital and rehabilitation settings as well as in private practice in London.

My work at Moon focuses on helping women navigate the roles visited upon them by bodily, hormonal and psychological change, exploring ways in which to transform obstacles into empowerment and frustration into curiosity. Presentations include:

  • Premenstrual Syndrome
  • Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
  • Miscarriage
  • IVF journey
  • Pregnancy
  • Breastfeeding challenges
  • Perinatal and/or postnatal depression and/or psychotic symptoms
  • Perimenopause.

An initial consultation, whilst tailored to your unique needs, will generally include creating a visual of your challenge(s) either using art, colours or small objects. Psychodrama is all about identifying the roles we embody in any one moment (e.g. practitioner, client, mother, woman, partner, worker, eater, feeder...), understanding their nuances and what is needed for some roles to be developed, supported, diminished or evolved in order for meaningful change to happen, whether that is in response to your body and mind or to others you feel impact your life and health. You may wish to simply identify these in a single session or to go forward with a time-limited or open-ended course of psychodrama psychotherapy for us to navigate the journey together.

I trained between 2015 and 2023 at the London Centre for Group and Individual Psychotherapy and have worked in both NHS and private hospital and rehabilitation settings with both groups and individuals as well as in private practice since 2018.

I am currently developing a strand of psychodrama work specifically for couple role work, and have a particular interest in the potential of psychodrama to help women strengthen their relationships with their evolving bodies and the resulting impact on mind, self-image and self-perception.

Treat your mum (and all the mother-figures in your life) to a deeply nourishing pause this Mothers’ Day weekend. This Restorative Yoga session will be led by Ali Masterman, and is a gentle, cosy invitation to step away from the rush and into rest. You’ll be guided through fully supported poses, using props, soothing breathwork, and deeply calming relaxation. This is a practice of being held, physically and emotionally, with plenty of time to soften, reset, and feel truly cared for.  As a gift for your mum or come as a pair, and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and beautifully restored. Best of all, this special workshop is part of a fundraiser, in aid of our sister company Moon Community Health CIC, which we set up as a social enterprise, to support generations of women and their families within our local community. So, every booking supports a brilliant cause close to our hearts, making it a meaningful way to give back while giving yourself (or someone you love) the gift of rest. Every single penny raised will be donated to Moon Community Health CIC. Find out more and book via our bio.
