My aim in every interaction is to allow people to connect with themselves and their true concerns. My original interest in becoming a therapist developed from my thirty-year career in nursing. So many times, I was working with people struggling to make sense of life events and challenges; it felt important to develop the skills to really listen and understand what someone was facing. I have found over time that however difficult the circumstances, what makes a difference is being given the space to be truly heard.

After training as a nurse, I worked in oncology, later training to be a Health Visitor, working with young children and families. The last twenty years of my nursing career were spent as a specialist in sexual health. This role was supporting people with complex issues such as, coping with sexual identity and sexual trauma.

​

I worked as a volunteer for MIND for many years as a Person-centred therapist. It was then a natural progression to develop my practice to work with people in their intimate relationships.  I trained with Relate, where I gained my Masters degree in Relationship Therapy. Most recently I have completed a Diploma in Sex Therapy, accredited by COSRT (College of Sexual and Realationship Therapists) working with issues such as difficulties with intimacy, unreliable erections, and vaginismus.
