About
Through my work in both private and public health care, I have gained extensive experience which allows me to draw upon a combination of research, theory, and practice to enable me to support you in making changes to improve the quality of your life.
In my own earlier search for answers, I spent a considerable time immersed in southeast Asia researching the benefits of mindfulness and meditation in relation to improved health and wellbeing. My learnings from that time coupled with my subsequent psychotherapy and counselling education and research allow me to draw on various modern and ancient approaches in my practice.
I also work for a large mental health organisation supporting over 500 trainee psychotherapists and psychologists to become qualified in their field, and provide supervision to counsellors in training, and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists.
