About

I have been a therapist for over 20 years. In this time, i have worked and held management positions in the NHS, non-statutory Authorities, corporate organisations, EAPs, various social services across the United Kingdom. I have offered therapies over the UK borders to as far as Australia, Germany, Austria, USA, Spain, South Africa, Botswana and many other places.

I believe in affording the client the best environment to articulate their thoughts and support a growth and recovery journey which would not only afford the client catharsis, but empower them to becoming self-fulfilling.

Please feel free to get in touch so we can embark on the journey to eternal bliss and positive outcomes.
