Experience

I have accumulated over 15 years of extensive experience working with both adults and children who face complex challenges. These include struggles such as self-harm, suicidal ideation, disordered eating, anxiety, low mood and depression, terminal illness, dying and bereavement, domestic violence, and various mental ill health difficulties.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have enriched my expertise. I have served as a visiting lecturer on systemic training at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, providing valuable insights and guidance to aspiring professionals. Additionally, I have worked as a supervisor on the ChildLine helpline at the NSPCC, offering support to children in need.

Most recently, I have focused on Palliative and end-of-life care within a Hospice setting, further deepening my understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals and families during this sensitive time.

I have over 11 years of experience in supervising both individuals and groups, providing guidance and support to fellow professionals in their respective fields.

Testimonials

At the start of couples counselling, things were really difficult. We struggle to communicate, to see each other's point of you, and often just wanted to give up. You helped us find a way to listen to each other, and when I say listen, I mean really listen! To move away from the' mind reads’ as you put them, and to pay attention to how we felt and what we were saying. We know it would've been challenging for you, because it was challenging for us, but you stuck with us and because of that, we were able to find the love we once had for each other again, to be kind and gentle to each other with our words, this has been such a life-changing experience and we can’t thank you enough! 

I'm not sure I quite have adequate words to express my gratitude and respect for/to you. Meeting and being supervised by you has changed the quality of all my therapy work; the introduction to Systemic therapy and thinking has added such an important dimension to my own thinking in general - Thank You just doesn't seem adequate
