I am an experienced Individuals and Couples Therapist, a Registered Member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and a Family Mediator (Trained Member of College of Mediators), registered with FMC (Family Mediation Council) and have worked in Private Practice since 2012.

I have previous experience working in counselling agencies; working with clients presenting with a wide variety of issues in one agency and counselling clients abused and traumatised by domestic violence in another. My work has also included counselling perpetrators of domestic violence.

I have set up and developed a school counselling service in a state secondary school. My years of experience working with 11-18 years olds has given me huge insights into the pain and confusion that adolescents experience when parents separate and families are split up.

During my counselling training, I was a volunteer Samaritan, supporting people experiencing feelings of emotional distress, despair and suicidal ideation. Concurrently, I trained and worked as a Bereavement Counsellor (and later a Clinical Supervisor) for Cruse Bereavement (a nationwide charity).

My interest in couples therapy led me to train as a Family Mediator. Since training, I have worked in a Family Mediation Practice and have now incorporated mediation into my Private Practice.
