My History
I am fascinated by people and by the human condition. My early training was as a mathematician and then in statistics and economics. My work career began in business and international trade.
In 2007, after my second marriage broke down, I decided to change direction, and took a degree in psychology. This led to a placement as a bereavement counselling volunteer with CRUSE Bristol in 2011, and then I met my first client in a counselling room in 2012.
During the last 10 years, I have noticed the one thing that unites the people that I have worked with and have listened to - we all want to be loved, we all have love to give.
If you choose to meet me, we will focus on your relationship. I believe that love is not enough on its own, for a relationship to work. I will accompany you on a journey of self-discovery, amazement and acceptance of life in all its diversity. You will be able to build skills to achieve the joy and connection human beings long for.
I offer you a safe space to explore difficult issues, to be listened to and to be heard, to become aware of thought and behaviour patterns that prevent you from being your healthiest self.
