About me

Warm, authentic and no-nonsense.

I work from an embodied practice, grounded in the principles of mindfulness. The body often knows before the mind does.

Speaking on generational trauma

I have spent more than 26 years in the psychological disciplines, across the NHS, the voluntary sector and private practice. I specialise in mild to moderate mental health difficulties, childhood and generational trauma, and the dilemmas that come up in relationships.

My approach is integrative, drawing on Transactional Analysis, Psychosynthesis and mindfulness-based therapies. I bring an understanding of difference and identity into the room, and I can empathise with experiences that are often left unspoken.

Alongside my own practice I am Course Leader for the Diploma in Counselling and Lead Supervisor at The Minster Centre in London. I am also a clinical supervisor for Signpost Young People’s Service and the Psychosynthesis Trust.

The retreat returns

Five days of meditation in St Lucia

After a pause while I complete my MSc, my annual meditation retreat is back. Five days of guided practice, rest and reflection in the Caribbean.

Thought for the day

Between what happens and how we respond there is a pause. Practice is simply learning to find it, one breath at a time.

Nuff love, respect & manners — Hycinth
