I began my exploration of psychological therapies while working with the inmates of several London prisons, in particular HMP Brixton. I initially trained in CBT based offending behaviour programmes under the aegis of the Forensic Psychology Department.
I went on to study Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis (TA) and Person-Centred Therapy at Wealden Psychology Institute and Bexhill College, achieving a combined Diploma in Integrative Counselling.
I later gained a Diploma in Trauma Therapy from Wealden before qualifying as an Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) psychotherapist in order to treat trauma and PTSD more effectively. I am currently an EMDR Europe accredited practitioner.

For ten years I worked in the Primary Care Counselling Service, part of IAPT in Hastings. While there I trained in Person Centred Experiential Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD).
I work with the Metanoia Institute in several roles. I helped to structure the 3 year PCE-CfD Psychotherapeutic Counselling programme for the NHS. I teach post-grad PCE-CfD for practitioners, tutor on the Supervision course, devise and run workshops, and assess trainees.
I am a supervisor, working with both trainee counsellors and experienced psychotherapists.
I am also employed as a band 8c Trauma Specialist at East Sussex NHS HealthcareTrust treating staff of the local hospitals.
