I am a fully qualified and experienced psychotherapist accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. As well as maintaining my private practice, I have experience of working within the charity sector and the NHS. Currently I work within the NHS community eating disorders service in Hertfordshire.

My background of working with young people for many years has given me a depth of understanding of the impact of upbringing and family on one’s emotional health and way of being. Moreover, my professional transition from teaching history to listening to and helping others make sense of their own personal history is an ongoing privilege.

I believe that exploring personal history not only helps us make sense of our identity, beliefs, feelings, thoughts and behaviours but can help to create a change within ourselves.
