I am originally from London and have lived and worked in Cambridge since 2001. I am married and have two teenagers and my therapeutic work is informed by my own experience of the joys and challenges of family life.

With a business background in the careers service, the telecoms industry and the chemical sciences, my experience includes designing and delivering organisational development programmes for individuals and teams based in the UK and internationally.   Since 2013, I have run my own business working with clients in public, private and charitable organisations as well as in higher education.

My training and practice:

My work is underpinned by my training in Social Anthropology, Human Resource Development and Humanistic Psychotherapy.

I completed my training in Humanistic Counselling and Psychotherapy at Spectrum Therapy in London.  I integrate a number of humanistic approaches within my practice, including Gestalt, Person Centred and Transactional Analysis.   My approach is also strongly influenced by Formative Psychology, developed by Stanley Keleman.  This is a way of working which looks at how we embody our experience and how we can work with our embodied experience as a way of better knowing ourselves and learning to use formative principles for making and managing change.

I have worked as a counsellor and psychotherapist at Lawrence Way Community Counselling Service, an NHS (IAPT) funded service based in Cambridge; at Cambridge Counselling Service; and in private practice.

Training as an Executive Coach with the Academy of Executive Coaching (AoEC) in 2014, and completing the Professional Practitioner Diploma in Executive Coaching in 2024, I have experience coaching individuals and groups at all stages of their career.   I am a certified Clean Coach with the Institute of Leadership and Management, and work as a mentor and assessor with the Clean Coaching Centre.

I work as a coach and facilitator with organisations and individuals in and around Cambridge as well as online.
