About Me
How I Work
I allow you as the client to direct the process. I will provide the space for you to tell your story and will work to build the relationship that will enable us to examine things more deeply. I help clients make sense of the things that are happening for them, bringing perspective and helping them to feel more grounded. I will also offer my thoughts and challenge, recognising that clients want and need input, not just a listening ear.
My Qualifications and Background
I am a counselling therapist, registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I also have a background working as a business psychologist, which adds another perspective to my work. I've given more information about my qualifications below.
Background and Experience
I worked as a business psychologist for 15 years prior to become a therapist. I know the pressures of corporate life very well, having worked with senior leaders in a range of organisations, as well as feeling the pressures of working as a consultant. I came into therapy because I wanted to understand myself better, and work more deeply with people to get to the heart of what really matters in their lives.

Therapeutic Training
I trained as a transpersonal therapist. This means that I look at what gives you meaning, and see your struggles as 'signs' of what you need in life rather than a 'pathology'. I will also explore your background and early life. I have a Postgraduate Diploma from the Psychosynthesis Trust.
