About me

Counselling is relational and so it requires a genuine personal engagement. The challenge is having conversations that break us out of ourselves, our stories, dramas and fear.

Psychotherapy and counselling are about seeing a new way of relating to ourselves and others, to life and to the world. My website gives fuller details about my approach.

I have over 20 years experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist, mostly in private practice. I work with individuals and couples for short and long term therapy in Cambridge and Angel Islington.

I'm currently taking on people for a therapy group which will run in home in Cambridge, there is space if you wish to register interest.

I also supervise experienced and trainee therapists, currently I'm the Lead Tutor for the Integrative Supervision Course for Individuals and Groups at The Grove Practice in London. The course is a clinical supervision training for counsellors, psychotherapists and therapists, coaches, psychologists and managers of clinical teams.

I'm an executive and leadership coach; I coach people in business, academia, science and tech, the arts and from religious organisations.

Training, qualifications & experience

I trained as a psychotherapist at The Whittington Hospital NHS Trust in Archway, North London. My approach is Integrative, this means that I draw form different theoretical models; I do not think in terms of any one approach as holding the 'truth'. Each approach has its merits. Modalities I work with include; Object Relations, Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Systems, CBT and mindfulness.
