I have always been interested in the mind and how the ways we relate to each other make a difference to the way we feel.
My early interests were in the relationship between psychology and philosophy, which I studied at university. Later I worked on policy for charities and a local authority. I became interested in communities and their inter-relationships and completed a PhD on communities and complexity theory.
I experienced my own life challenge, a stroke at the age of 42, and received some superb counselling. This re-ignited my interest in psychology and I decided to spend the second part of my career working in psychotherapy.
I bring a wide range of experience and knowledge to my work. The most important thing I bring is a commitment to working with you as an individual and providing a safe, non-judgmental environment.
I am committed to widening access to psychotherapy and volunteer with The Recovery College Collective in Newcastle.
