I have a Diploma in Clinical and Pastoral Counselling and a Certificate in Couples and Family Counselling. I am also a graduate of The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy training under Ellyn Bader Ph.D. at The Couples Institute.
I am an accredited member of both the National Counselling Society, and the National Council of Psychotherapists.
For nearly 10 years, I was part of a team in a challenging and busy cross cultural practice abroad. Working with local, international and cross cultural families, it was there that I gained experience and insight into working with difference and how it can be turned from problem back into gift.
What I love most ab
out my work is helping people to define themselves individually, and relationally in order to become who they aspire to be for the relationship they long to have.
I have been in private practice in the UK for over five years and work online as well as at The Terrace in Taunton.
To compliment my core training, I have studied further with:
Terry Real of the Relational Life Institute
Esther Perel Martha Kauppi of the Institute for Relational Intimacy
John and Julie Gottman of the Gottman Institute
Harville Hendrix and Helen Lakelly Hunt of Imago Therapy
Gay and Katie Hendriks of the Hendricks Institute
Michelle Wiener Davis
My own experience as wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend and grandmother has taught me that the quality of my relationships determines the quality of my life. It is in relationship that I find nourishment for life and the stimulus for my own growth and development.
