In addition to my own private practice I work with a leading Harley Street Addiction Treatment clinic. 

Before opening my private practice, I worked with specialist therapy services supporting clients with baby loss, child exploitation, rape and sexual abuse. While working as Professional Lead with a National Charity supporting families affected by criminal trauma I wrote and delivered the training programme for volunteer telephone listeners and counsellors.

Specific areas of therapeutic interest include working with children in the care of the local authority, private addiction treatment and criminal justice.

 I have previously enjoyed tutoring and supporting trainee counsellors on their journey to qualification.

Before qualifying in Humanistic Counselling at the University of Chichester I held a lengthy career spanning over 20 years working with vulnerable children and adults. Specialist roles included Drug Rehabilitation Requirement (DRR) Case Manager with the National Probation Service, Education Liaison Officer in an inner-city provision (PRU), Youth Court Officer, Defence Team Court Clerk. While acting as the Bail and Remand Officer for South and South East Hampshire I chaired the Wessex Bail and Remand steering group and completed a professional certificate in Effective Practice (Youth Justice) with the University of Portsmouth.

About Therapy:

It does take courage to acknowledge that for whatever reason you are struggling to manage life as well as you might like. It doesn't always feel easy to accept that you need help to manage a historic or ongoing difficulty or to cope with a sudden and traumatic life experience. In therapy I offer you a confidential and non judgmental space to explore and process what it is that brings you here. 

Please do feel free to contact me in confidence to discuss your individual therapy needs.
