I have been counselling since 1984, professionally since 2001. Though Psychodynamically grounded, years of experience have encouraged me to compliment my orientation, enabling me to draw upon a variety of other salient approaches. These include elements of Mindfulness, CBT, Person-Centred therapies, 12-Step, Attachment Theory and Transactional Analysis.

Before establishing private practice I worked full-time in the Drug and Alcohol dependency field, in partnership with statutory services including the NHS mental health sector. This has provided me with extensive experience in working with trauma, relationship issues and emotional distress.

From 2015-21 I held the position of visiting practitioner with practicing privileges at Priory Ticehurst House, relinquishing this role to concentrate exclusively on my home practice.

Throughout my career I have participated in continuing professional development by means of specialised training courses and continuing research. I have also devised and delivered training to both fellow professionals and to those in the community. 

I am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy) and abide by their Ethical Framework of good practice principles.

I hold an Enhanced DBS Certificate (Disclosure & Barring Service).
