"I feel privileged to have a career that I am passionate about"
The decision to become a psychotherapist began with a desire to better understand myself. The more I began to understand, the more intrigued I became about human behaviour and emotional responses in general, and in particular in the workplace and in family life. I have now developed a career which blends my background as a City solicitor with mental health and wellbeing services to the legal profession and beyond.
Accreditations
I am registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I work within the ethical framework for good practice and professional conduct of both organisations. I attend ongoing clinical supervision with a UKCP registered supervisor. This is a requirement for all qualified therapists in client contact.
