As a qualified Human Givens therapist with over 15 years of experience, I have been able to work with a great variety of people, helping them to overcome their personal challenges and re-establish their wellbeing. Alongside my private practice, I worked for 9 years at a London branch of the national mental health charity, Mind, and since 2011 have been providing therapy for the City & Hackney Carers Centre, a London affiliate of Carers UK, supporting clients with a range of issues in what can already be very stressful circumstances.

I first started exploring how the mind works through meditation at the age of eighteen, and went on to take a degree in Social Psychology. My career initially took me into travel and sponsored film production before joining BBC Television, where I created documentaries on topics including dreaming consciousness, green spirituality and non-ordinary mental experiences.

My own encounters with personal and workplace stress drew me away from television and towards counselling and psychotherapy, and over a number of years I acquired varied experience of both individual and group-based therapies.

In 2001, while already in practice as a counsellor in Marylebone in central London, I discovered the Human Givens approach to psychotherapy and was immediately struck by its explanatory power. It made sense of our human experience in a way that my own previous therapeutic encounters did not. With its clear holistic framework and practical tools, it offered the potential to create more of a positive difference for people and more quickly, something I have seen repeatedly validated in my practice over the last fifteen years.

Science and therapeutic technique continue to evolve, and I stay up to date with the latest research in mental health, therapeutic practice and neuroscience in order to offer my clients broad and informed care within the powerful organising principles of the Human Givens approach.

I hold an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) certificate.
