I am an Adult Counsellor and a Child, Adolescent and Family Psychotherapist. I am BACP Accredited.

I initially trained at the Metanoia Institute which specialises in the professional training of counsellors and psychotherapists.

I continued my studies at the Tavistock and Portman Trust which specialises in training professionals in the mental health of Children, Adolescents and Families.
