Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in documentary films. Starting as a runner in the early 80's, I moved on to produce and direct films, concerned with human rights'. Then my own experience of therapy and a keen interest in psychology led me to train as a psychotherapist. I qualified in December 2000. Now, as well as having a successful private practice, I work for the London Ambulance Service, NHS Trust, where I provide supervision for a staff peer support network. Psychotherapists and counsellors consult me for supervision in their work in both the public and private sector. I provide coaching and coaching supervision.
In 2015, I co founded INTERIM, a charity created to provide low cost counselling for those who might otherwise be unable to access support. The motivation came from a deep belief in the power and efficacy of counselling and psychotherapy - not just as a means of alleviating distress, but as a way of fostering growth, insight and lasting change.
Running INTERIM reinforced my conviction that therapy has a transformative potential when it’s made accessible - helping people navigate difficult times, strengthen relationships and discover greater clarity and self awareness.
