There is a place for you here…
Hello, I’m Ati…
Welcome
Thank you so much for visiting. I'm so happy you're here.
First and foremost, I'm a human being who cares deeply about helping people find their way back to themselves.
In 2025, I was honoured to receive the Muddy Stilettos Award for Best Wellbeing Specialist. What makes this award especially meaningful is that it was voted for by the public by the wonderful community I have the privilege of supporting. Community means everything to me, and I will always be grateful for that trust.
My passion is helping people discover sustainable ways to care for their nervous systems so they can flourish in our busy, often overwhelming world. I believe self-care isn't about following someone else's routine - it's about finding what works for you, in a way that feels achievable, nurturing and lasting.
Before stepping into the world of therapy and wellbeing, I spent several years working in the fashion, jewellery and publishing industries. Like many people, I experienced burnout, and that journey inspired me to retrain as a therapeutic counsellor. Since then, I have continued to learn, grow and expand my practice so I can offer truly integrative support to every person I meet.
Today, I work as an integrative and intuitive wellbeing therapist, bringing together a range of evidence-based and holistic approaches. I am an integrative psychotherapist, clinical hypnotherapist and BACP-registered integrative counsellor. Alongside this, I am a mindfulness coach, meditation teacher, yoga and face yoga teacher, Advanced EFT (Tapping) Master Therapist, Vietnamese facial reflexology practitioner, and I'm trained in EMDR and NLP approaches.
For several years I have also mentored others in the profession and offer creative clinical supervision for trainee therapists, counsellors, coaches and anyone seeking supportive reflective practice.
As a qualified ecotherapist, I also offer my much-loved Chai & Wander (or Wonder) sessions - gentle walk-and-talk therapy, often accompanied by a comforting cup of chai if that's your thing. I am also a Gentle Release and EnerQi practitioner, using principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine to support whole mind-body wellbeing. My work also incorporates the therapeutic use of colour, sound and creativity, allowing us to find the approaches that resonate most with you.
Above all, I believe therapeutic support is about the relationship we build together. Every person is different, so there is no one-size-fits-all programme. Instead, I work alongside you, creating a personalised journey that honours your needs, your pace and your goals.
I support children, young people, adults and couples through every stage of life helping them reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous systems, navigate life's challenges and cultivate meaningful, sustainable self-care. I often use the term mindbody because I truly believe our minds and bodies are inseparable; when we care for one, we care for the other.
Whether we've worked together one-to-one, outdoors in nature, in groups or through mentoring, it has always been an honour to walk alongside people on their journey.
Welcome to The Sensory Journey. I hope you find a space here where you feel seen, supported and gently encouraged to thrive.

I loved it and I feel like I am growing so much through your sessions, the way you speak and hold space for the group is just beautiful and I am so so grateful….as a dancer I don't very often hear people saying things like that so it is something that I am holding deeply.

I live with a stutter, and over the years I've discovered that mindfulness and sustainable self-care have been some of my greatest teachers…
They have helped me build confidence in my own voice, and today I feel incredibly passionate about supporting others to find theirs too. One of the greatest joys of my work is encouraging people to take up their space, speak with confidence and embrace who they are.
My personal journey encouraged me to re-evaluate the path I was on. After working in the fashion and jewellery industries, I retrained as a talking therapist, initially supporting families with disabled children. Those early experiences gave me a strong foundation of compassion, curiosity and person-centred care, and my practice has continued to grow from there.
Today I work with children and young people, adults, couples and groups, both in person and online. I've also had the privilege of supporting organisations and corporate clients, helping individuals create healthier, more sustainable ways of caring for themselves in both their personal and professional lives.
More recently, my own menopause journey has opened another chapter in my work. Supporting women - and the people around them - through this significant life transition has become incredibly meaningful to me. It is often a time of change, reflection and rediscovery, and I feel honoured to walk alongside people as they navigate it.
Like many therapists, my practice has evolved over the years. While I continue to draw on my integrative therapeutic training, my work has naturally moved towards a more holistic approach, combining facial reflexology, Gentle Release, therapeutic touch and hypnotherapy to support both the mind and body. Whenever possible, I love working outdoors in nature, where the surroundings become part of the therapeutic experience. Time and again, I have witnessed the gentle yet powerful healing that can happen when we slow down, reconnect and allow ourselves the space to simply be.
I have had many sessions with Ati over the years. Whether we spend time talking or doing something to land back in the body, I always walk away from our time together feeling calm, relaxed and grounded. A true earth angel, if you get to work with Ati then count yourself incredibly blessed.

My therapeutic experience has helped me to build the model of The Sensory Journey…
which is the foundation of my work with over 25 years experience as an Integrative therapist I am passionate about supporting you at a deeper level connecting the mindbody. It is my honour to do this with compassion, respect and inclusivity.
‘It’s been a long time, that someone has held space for me in that way, and how you have guided me to access that lost part of myself was incredible. Something has shifted.. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone quite like you..the warmth that you have, your openness and ability to make people feel safe is a true blessing…’
