My Story

Since qualifying in 2001, I have worked as an applied psychology practitioner in a health clinic, psychological consultation and psychodrama group work in private practice, team building and stress management for organisations. I also designed and conducted my research for public organisations.

I believe that therapy can be hugely beneficial, both healing and transformative. The therapeutic relationship is central to successful therapy outcomes, and I will do my best to relate to you in a trusting and genuine way. My reward is to see you happier with yourself, to be confident dealing with the outside world, and to have hope for your future.
