I first trained in counselling in 1987
and
went on to commence training as
a psychotherapist in 1999. I remain in
post-graduate ongoing professional development and supervision at
Spectrum, which is my training
organisation. I am an accredited member
of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and work to their
code of ethics and conduct. I am also a member of The Association for Humanistic Psychology in Britain.
My approach, which is humanistic, is concerned with the development of each individual's potential and to support the personal search to bring about a deeper, more meaningful experience of our lives. My training has provided me with a wide range of techniques and diagnostic models from both traditional and modern psychotherapeutic disciplines. This allows me to be open and flexible to different needs and be able to respond in a variety of different ways.
I have personally experienced how counselling and psychotherapy can be transformational, as it has brought about immensely positive changes in my own life. It continues to be a way of understanding myself and the way in which I relate to others, and it gives me a deeper and more satisfying experience of being alive.
I am currently particularly motivated by Bert Hellinger’s systemic approach to resolving the issues of families and organisations and of Peter Levine’s somatic work in the healing and prevention of trauma. I take pleasure in accompanying my clients in their endeavour to heal, grow and learn more about themselves. I am also constantly inspired by the natural world and earth-centred spirituality, both of which support all my endeavours.
I work with senior executives in the City of London as a coach.
I also work with Chief Executives within the charity sector offering coaching and mentoring both in a one to one setting and in
Tough at the Top, professional support and coaching groups. l also work as a group facilitator
with get2thepoint. I write a
column for Third Sector Magazine as the ‘Career Coach’.
My earlier background was in holistic therapies and the charity world and prior to that I was in catering and hospitality. My early years were in advertising: tv and radio production and media planning and buying.
I am co-founder of "The Food Chain", a London-wide charity that supplies and delivers specially prepared, nutritionally balanced meals to people who are living with HIV-related illnesses. www.foodchain.org.uk I am a member of the Independent Advisory Group to the City of London Police.
