I am a psychotherapist interested in trauma, healing, overcoming anxious thinking and self improvement. I have been working in Mental Health for over 20 years. I became an accredited Integrative Psychotherapist in 2000 and I am a member of the UKCP Humanistic Section. I am also a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and a trained Supervisor (Metanoia Institute).

I completed a Science Psychology degree with Philosophy in 1995, I then went on to shadow a significant member of the National Schizophrenia Fellowship. In 1997, I began managing a Drop-In Centre for people suffering from severe and enduring mental health problems. I found this experience really interesting and enjoyed the work I was doing but I became frustrated at the lack of understanding, funding and care available, so I decided to go back into education and qualify as a psychotherapist, in order to sharpen my skills at communicating with people with complex needs.
