My Experience

I qualified as a therapist in 1997 after 4 years training. Prior to this I had worked as a teacher for thirteen years following a degree in Philosophy and a post graduate qualification in education.

As a therapist I have worked in the NHS, in private practice, in student counselling, in employee support within organisations, in addiction counselling and as a counselling trainer and supervisor.

I am very experienced in doing thorough assessments, and helping clients into the best therapeutic route available to them. I have had some experience of psychiatric assessments.

I have experience in both short term, solution focused counselling, telephone counselling and longer term, open ended psychotherapy.
