About me

My professional background is in the legal, housing and mental health fields; I have also trained and worked as an artist and in design research. In addition to a four year psychotherapy training and many years of my own psychotherapy I draw from experience of parenthood, an interest in creativity and in being one of the growing group of adults finding out they are neurodivergent.

My core training is in Transactional Analysis (TA), a talking therapy with a strong culture of user-friendly concepts to help make sense of one's experiences. Like many therapy modalities, TA is interested in how the past can influence the present, how we may have adapted to early environments as well as wondering about the absorbing of unwritten rules inherent in families and cultures.

Regular clinical supervision, ongoing professional training, and full liability insurance ensure I meet the professional and ethical standards of the therapy institutes of which I am a member. In addition to my therapeutic training I hold a BSc in Chemistry with Philosophy and a BA in Visual Arts Ceramics.

If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
