I believe Counselling is a map, it helps us work out where we are, where we want to get to and what we need to get there, I am as passionate about counselling now as when I first qualified in 2008.

Previous Professional Experience
In a career spanning 30 years, prior to counselling I worked in the public and private sector working cross organisation and to deadlines. I understand the importance of boundaries and stress reduction techniques to balance health, happiness and well being.
I worked for organisations including Lambeth Social Services, Macmillan Cancer Support, The National Audit Office and Transport for London gaining a wide understanding of organisational dynamics and stress factors common to the workplace.
These valuable years of professional experience continue to inform my counselling today.
