About me

I am a relational gestalt psychotherapist, which maybe the reason you looked at my profile, or may mean nothing to you at all.  

Life can be messy and murky, and there isn't a single simple answer.  I value real and honest conversation, your life is your unique lived experience and I wish to meet you just as you are. 

I work on the Nottinghamshire/Lincolnshire/Leicestershire border and am accessible from most of these locations. 

Training, qualifications & experience

Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a Senior Leader in large Organisations, responsible for large teams.

I trained at Scarborough Counselling and Psychotherapy Institute and  hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Relational Gestalt Psychotherapy, registered to practice with UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy). I have been in private practice for 4 years, and worked during my training on placement at Nottingham Trent University as part of the Student Counselling Team. 

I co-founded The Listening Collective in 2021, with the intention of supporting humans who work in Organisations. The Listening Collective offers 'Coaching By Therapists'.
