My background
I came to counselling and psychotherapy after an initial career in nursing and social work which then inspired me to train as a counsellor, psychotherapist and clinical supervisor.
As a senior manager I have led teams of therapists in both adult and children’s hospices for many years, worked for 7 years as a GP surgery-based counsellor in Primary Care alongside my private practice.
For many years I developed and delivered training courses for counsellors, volunteers and health care professionals.
In further education I was part of a team delivering accredited Diploma level training and supervision to student counsellors.
My training required me to have personal therapy for a minimum of five years, so I know what it is like to be a client myself.
