I am an Integrative Body Psychotherapist (UKCP) based in West Oxford, where I run my private practice.

As well as working with individual clients and supervising psychotherapists, counsellors and complementary practitioners, I am an experienced teacher and group leader. For the past 10 years I have been teaching Integrative Body Psychotherapy and Trauma Work as well as leading Family Constellation groups in England and Israel.As an Israeli and second generation holocaust survivor, I have a special interest in working with trauma and its transgenerational manifestations. For some years I worked as a team member with the Trauma Service at the Maudsley Hospital, London, where I practiced Somatic Trauma Therapy and developed my integrative approach to trauma work. Currently, I am a team member at The Oxford Stress and Trauma Centre. I am also an external supervisor at the Refugee Resource, Oxford where I supervise a team of counsellors working with refugees and asylum seekers.

In the past 25 years I have been working with people from a diverse spectrum of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, spiritual and religious beliefs, age and sexual orientation.

I deeply enjoy and appreciate meeting the similarities and differences in the other person as we are working together with our human limitations and potentials toward acceptance and empowerment.

I studied and gained my diploma at the Chiron Centre for Body Psychotherapy, London and later acquired an MSc degree in Integrative Psychotherapy at Metanoia Institute/Middlesex University. Since then I have completed further trainings in Group Facilitation, Supervision, Somatic Trauma Therapy, E.M.D.R and the systemic approach to Family Constellations. In my practice, I combine the knowledge and experience I acquired in the Far East with Western approaches and methods.

I am UKCP registered Integrative Psychotherapist and an EABP registered Body Psychotherapist. I am also a member of the following professional organisations: CABP, EMDR Association.

In my work I integrate my experience as a body-centred therapist with my psychodynamic understanding of unconscious processes. I aim to address the ‘whole’ person: body, feelings, mind and spirit and therefore include physical, emotional and mental processes in the therapeutic space. My methods and techniques include Gestalt, body work, guided imagery, dreamweaving, EMDR, somatic trauma therapy, family constellations, mindfulness and more.

I work with a wide range of issues and problems such as: depression, anxiety, eating disorders, Post Traumatic Stress, early childhood traumas, psychosomatic symptoms, relationship problems, lack of motivation or direction, bereavement and loss, sexual identity, etc. 
I also offer support through life changing events and growth processes.
