Professional Biography

Individual/couple/family therapist, specialising in trauma issues. For past thirty years since qualifying as a social worker ,I have been employed in various settings from maternity to palliative care. I have been team leader in child protection, community centres and acting team leader in South East centre against sexual assault, where I was employed as a clinician for 15 years. Since 2009, I have also worked in the evenings on a part time basis in my private practice. If clients reside locally and find it difficult to attend my clinic, I can offer home visits . I am a mindfulness practitioner as well and utilise this practice as a means to instruct trauma survivors in the safety of the moment in which they are in control. I provide sensory somatic techniques and I work with the vagal nervous system to achieve emotional regulation and can offer emotional focussed therapy (tapping) if appropriate at the time of engagement.
