I see personal breakdown and crisis as events that point the way to changes that help us reach our potential.  My work focuses on building and expanding individual strengths with the aim of achieving a balance in lifestyle and relationships.

I place the greatest value on my relationship with my clients and offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space in which to explore your concerns.
I am a registered member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), an Accredited Member of BACP and a UK Registered Counsellor/Psychotherapist.  I am also a Registered Guidance Practitioner (Institute of Career Guidance).

Membership of these professional bodies means that I abide by strict Codes of Ethics and professional practice.  You can be assured of the highest standards of discretion and confidentiality.
I have many years training and experience in private practice. 
I also offer clinical supervision of case work, am an assessor
for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy
(BACP) and consultant to the University of East London.

I trained with the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education in London.  I have an MA in Transpersonal Counselling and Psychotherapy (DeMontfort University) and a Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling (CCPE).  Other certified training includes couples counselling, career guidance, counselling supervision, life coaching and occupational testing.
