About Me
My journey into therapy began with a counselling experience that didn’t feel right. It left me with a strong sense that therapy should be much better, on many levels.
Later, working with an experienced psychotherapist showed me just how transformative good therapy can be. Their warmth and understanding not only helped me heal but also inspired the kind of therapist I wanted to become.
That experience led me into years of study — from counselling, psychotherapy training to a doctorate, as well as clinical supervision training — alongside my own ongoing therapy. Spending so much time in the client’s chair gave me a deep appreciation of the process and, I believe, helped me earn my place in the therapist’s chair.
I’ve been a therapist for over 25 years, working with individuals and couples, and supervising other therapists and trainees. My work across the NHS, the drug and alcohol field, and managing counselling services has given me a deep understanding of the many ways people struggle, try to adapt, fail or find their way forward. I feel privileged to share my clients journeys to reach a better way of living.
