Experience
In addition to my private practice, I have worked for a number of third sector organisations and as an Honorary Psychotherapist in an NHS secondary mental health service, providing long term therapy for women with reported experience of sexual abuse in childhood.
As clinical lead at a community counselling service, I facilitated both group and individual supervision for counselling staff. I am on the approved supervisor's list for adults at IATE
With a background in education, I am passionate about experiential learning; developing and delivering training workshops centred on creative and trauma informed approaches to therapy.
