Therapists
I am an experienced and fully-qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, registered with the BACP, and with a previous history of working in the NHS and with the Samaritans. Before I became a therapist, I used to commission and edit psychology books for one of the world's biggest academic publishers.
I follow an "integrative" approach in my work, meaning that I was trained in a number of different theoretical perspectives, combined in a way that reflects who I am and responds to the needs of whoever I work with. My approach to the therapeutic relationship is based on a deep respect for each person’s individuality and a sincere belief in their own natural potential to understand themselves and achieve whatever change they seek.
I retrained as a therapist after calling time on a successful career in book publishing, in search of a more fulfilling and connected life. I have lived and worked in several different countries and, since becoming a therapist, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of patients and clients within the NHS and in my own private practice.
