ABOUT ME
EXperience
I have been in the field of mental health for many years, working as a mental health nurse, psychotherapist, lecturer, and clinical supervisor. During this time, I have spent 26 years working as a clinician at Roehampton Priory, as well as in schools, charities, universities, workplaces, and private practice.
I have been fortunate enough to have worked with some incredible people along the way, both clients and colleagues, who have enabled me to gain extensive experience with a diverse range of issues, such as trauma, bereavement, depression, anxiety, PTSD, psychosis, personality disorder, eating disorders and addictions.
And 30 years on, my passion and commitment to the work I do remains as strong as ever.
