About me
I am a qualified Family and Systemic Psychotherapist offering a confidential therapeutic service to individuals, couples and families in East Anglia.
I have worked with individuals and families in the UK and the United States, helping them find solutions that
work for them uniquely, in a practical and down to earth way – it’s more than just talking!
I also provide individual and group clinical supervision, and training on working with families, adolescent development and addiction, both in the UK and the US.
I have also raised my three children as a single working mum, whilst gaining my professional qualifications. I have worked in mental health since 1994, with adults, families, couples, and young people, including those in prison, those with addiction, and those dealing with domestic violence, relationship problems, grief and loss, and neuro-developmental disorders.
