I have over 20 years of experience working with individuals (children, adolescents, adults), couples and their families struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, domestic violence, bereavement, chronic and terminal health difficulties, transitions in family life, and various relational difficulties as a family and systemic psychotherapist. I also have experience providing teaching, consultation, and supervision for family therapy trainees and other professionals. I am a registered Systemic Supervisor. I am also a level 2 ABFT certified clinician.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited

UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
