I have over 40 years experience of working in applied psychology in various settings, including both therapeutic and business environments. I trained as a forensic psychologist, working with young offenders in prison and then as an organisational psychologist specialising in executive assessment and coaching.

After my family were grown up I worked at a local hospice as a volunteer bereavement counsellor and in a low-cost therapy clinic supporting clients with depression, anxiety and addiction amongst other issues.

I am something of a life long learner! I did further training in psychosynthesis counselling, a flexible and holistic approach, which helps people to address the day to day challenges and destructive patterns which stop them from living authentic and fulfilled lives.

In my current practice I combine my different career experiences and my training in psychology, coaching and counselling to help people to discover who they really are, beyond the "shoulds" and "oughts" and repeating patterns that we are often conditioned to respond to.

I find people often come to me when they are at a crossroads in their lives. They are experiencing change, maybe even a change they have chosen, but are struggling. Sometimes they know change is needed, but don't know what that is or how to go about it. Sometimes they have struggled for years and now feels like the right time to try a new approach.

I can use my skills and experience to help you to bring fresh thinking to your current distress or challenge and to feel more hope and clarity about how you can move forward.
