I am a Doctor of Psychotherapeutic & Counselling Psychology with over 15 years of clinical, supervisory and teaching experience. I have worked with a wide range of adults, adolescents, couples, groups and families and have amassed a breadth of experience supporting people.
I have experience in numerous clinical settings with very different populations. I worked within the NHS and with students at various London universities, within the corporate sector as well as in private practice in Sydney, and at an art school in California.
I am a published author within my field, and an internal examiner for the Doctoral programme at the New School of Psychotherapy & Counselling.
This scope of experience of working with different individuals around the world gives me a unique insight into supporting a wide range of people, and enables me to tailor therapy to best meet your needs.
