Professional qualifications and life experience
I have a Master of Arts degree and Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling following a five-year UKCP accredited training at the Minster Centre, London. I am registered with UKCP and a member of BACP.
I trained originally as a solicitor and more recently as a family mediator for couples on relationship breakdown. Over the past 30 years I have worked in various capacities for children and families: as a practising lawyer, a family mediator and in the charitable sector working to try and promote change through advice, policy development and training. From my experience over the years I have gained a good understanding of the challenges and stresses facing those working in this field, for example social workers and child and family law practitioners.
