I have seventen years of experience as a psychotherapist using Transactional Analysis therapy and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, working with individuals (adults and adolescents), couples and groups.

I continue to grow as a therapist and as a person by building on my Transactional Analysis training and undertaking further personal development such as short courses and workshops in group practice, psychopathology, working with adult survivors of sexual abuse, couples counselling, the emotional and psychological development of children and adolescents, and acceptance and commitment therapy, compassion focused therapy  as well as training at Reading University to work with people suffering from trauma and with complex trauma.
