Email meAbout me
I trained in Medical Diagnostic Radiographer and gradually became interested in "what makes the whole person tick!". In Australia I undertook my own deep personal exploration over several years and furthered my interest by training in Emotional Release and Expressive Therapies. These eclectic approaches incorporate several modalities including, Sand Play, Voice Dialogue,Journal writing, Bio-energetics, Holotropic Breathwork and Mandala drawing. Developed over the years in Australia, and proven to be effective with children and adults, they formed the basis of the counselling practice in Brisbane which I ran with my husband (Ray Mansfield).
We were actively involved in presenting Counsellor training courses at the Expressive Therapies Institute of Australia, as well as group work-shops for those interested in, for example, Women's issues, Rites of Passage work, Self Understanding and Personal Growth. We have returned to England, and realise that we still have plenty to offer in the counselling field here, and so are postponing retirement, in favour of the work we love.
