My Story

Slow Tree has grown from my personal journey—from London to Leipzig, from teacher to counsellor.

​

My mission is to live authentically, in alignment with my heart, and to support others. I have travelled extensively and experienced many extraordinary things, yet I also find beauty and fascination in life’s simple, everyday moments.

I’ve always been drawn to the questions: Why do we behave the way we do? And how can we let go of the things we no longer wish to carry?

​

My curiosity has led me into the ever-evolving fields of psychology, neuroscience, and spirituality. There is always something new to discover—new research, perspectives, and ways of understanding ourselves. I’m passionate about bringing the latest insights and cutting-edge techniques into the therapy room, while continuing to learn and grow as the field evolves.

​

As a Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie, I am trained and licensed to work therapeutically with people experiencing emotional and psychological challenges. I have trained extensively in the IFS therapy model and have undertaken separate, in-depth training in couples therapy.

​

Inclusion is deeply important to me. I welcome neurodiversity, mixed-neurotype couples, LGBTQ+ and transgender people, and people of all religions, cultures, and racial backgrounds. I strive to create a space that is respectful, open, and sensitive to each person’s individual identity and experiences.​

​

I have lived in Leipzig since 2007 and am the mother of three teenage children. I speak fluent German and also offer sessions in German.

​

I have supported many clients in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves, changing unhelpful patterns, processing traumatic experiences, and embracing new perspectives.

​

I invite you to join me on a journey of self-discovery, compassion, and surprises. 🤍
