I have always been passionate about promoting mental health.  In my mid-twenties, I was seeking a vocation that gave me true purpose in an area of genuine interest and where I could apply my competencies.  This lead me to I begin training as a psychotherapist in 2003. Over the next 4 years, I undertook voluntary roles helping young people in drug prevention agency and vulnerable adults at a homeless hostel whilst studying and maintaining a full-time job.

Over the last 14 years, I have worked with many organisations and with hundreds of individuals.  I believe that all therapy is very personal and has to fit with you, therefore my primary focus is always to work with your interests at the forefront.  This means that I look to provide a caring and accepting environment where we can work together to fulfil you aims of therapy.  As I bring knowledge, expertise and experience as a psychotherapist, you bring your knowledge, expertise and experience of being You.

I continue to professionally develop in a number of ways by endless reading, attending courses and workshops, undertaking additional qualifications, regular supervision, peer support and open and honest self-reflection.  These practises help to ensure that I remain competent, compassionate and able to work at the highest possible standard.
