About my practice

The purpose of my work is to bring about change –to be able to express yourself fully throughout your daily life, to facilitate you to access your potential, and to grow to respect and be in tune with the environment - to be inspired to live. As such it is part of a much wider, far reaching vision. As individuals we have much to learn about ourselves in therapy – developing our strengths, overcoming our wounds and history and learning how to gain fulfilment in our lives. Any changes which occur in the therapy room can have a pleasing cathartic effect with short term benefits, but to be of lasting worth they have to take into account your context (world), and be taken forth into your relationships, communities, and immediate environment. Doing this enables us to see the benefits of our changes have a far reaching and spreading influence beyond ourselves, confirming we have tapped into something deep and significant. I have 29 years of experience, being a therapist since 1997 in the areas of mental health, children and families, domestic violence, the educational sector, with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, have extensive experience of working cross-culturally and with neuro-diversity. Having worked with 1100+ clients and 100’s of supervisees in many settings, I have considerable experience with pretty much most issues. While I consider my specialism to be people, I do have a specialism in the areas of autism, existential issues (what is it all about?), eco-grief, working with creative people (creative blocks, lack of motivation etc) and supporting people moving away from religion. The environment has a huge impact upon us, it being our life support system it has huge importance in our wellbeing and I include it in the therapeutic work. My work is split between therapy and supervision (both currently face to face, over zoom and outdoors) and training. I also work as a musician.
