To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow—this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.”

Elizabeth Gilbert

Experience

I bring over 25 years of experience working across a wide range of settings, supporting individuals, couples, and families through complex and often life-changing experiences.

Currently I work in private practice and with corporate clients through The Circle Line (sessions provided by your employers). I also work with two charities: Axminster and Lyme Cancer Support and 2wish (supporting families affected by sudden death in young people)

My work has included:

  • University counselling services, including Goldsmiths, University of London

  • NHS hospital settings, including King’s College Hospital, working with inpatients and outpatients recovering from life-changing illness and injury

  • Charitable organisations, supporting individuals and families facing illness, trauma, loss, and bereavement

  • Primary and secondary schools, offering therapeutic support to children and young people

  • Adoption services, working with parents and children navigating attachment, loss, and identity

  • Specialist multidisciplinary teams supporting fertility, pregnancy, and early parenthood, including IVF, infertility, miscarriage, and stillbirth

  • Community-based services and collaborative therapeutic settings

  • Private practice, where I work with adults, young people, and couples

  • Clinical supervision for therapists and helping professionals
