About me

I have an MA in integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy and a degree in Sociology.

I come from a creative background and worked as an actor for thirty years prior to completing my MA.  I believe we’re all creative in a variety of everyday ways and that creativity and imagination provide powerful tools for growth and healing.

I see my experience as an actor as having provided a helpful foundation for my work as a therapist.  Both require an empathic ability to stand in the shoes of another in order to understand their unique situation and experiences.

My psychotherapeutic training now allows me to draw from my acting experience and fascination with human nature in facilitating my clients’ explorations into their own inner-worlds and emotional truths.

Some of my former professional experience includes work as an RSPCA veterinary nurse, a film-make artist, an actor, a holistic physical therapist, a project worker with disadvantaged young adults and a bereavement counsellor.

I practice in accordance with the BACP’s ethical framework for practice that includes commitment to confidentiality and respect of clients’ diverse and individual needs.

My fees are £60 per session. (Rates are negotiable – discounts are offered to students, those on low income and benefits.)
