I am a fully trained psychotherapist and counsellor, with a particular interest in attachment, relationships and loss. My therapeutic approach is based on Transactional Analysis (TA).
My early career was spent in caring professions in the NHS, social services and the voluntary sector. Over the last 25 years I have worked in Higher Education lecturing in developmental psychology, gaining a broad range of experience of working with students, teachers, tutors and lecturers.
I am a member of all relevant organisations and registered with the Information Commissioner's Office.
