I started work in the mental health field in 1976 and worked for 8 years in therapeutic communities during which time I did my training in Gestalt Therapy.After a Social Work Training and 5 years working as a social workerI moved to Devon in 1990 with my family and started a practice as a psychotherapist.
Since then I have worked privately and for 21 years as an NHS Psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and groups.In addition I helped to set up and run for 15 years a Gestalt Therapy Training Programme.
My interest in the relation between body and mind has taken me into the field of trauma and PTSD. I have done further training in the field of trauma - with Babette Rothschild and an EMDR training.
I now see clients for short and long term individual therapy, couple work, supervision and consultation to organisations.
