Career

Before pursuing a career in Psychology, I worked in various senior management positions in Engineering, Retail Operations, Information Technology and most recently in the Charity sector, often managing large teams. It was while performing these roles that I discovered my passion for helping individuals be the best they can be which inspired me to pursue a career in Psychology.

I have worked for many years as primary tutor on Person Centred Counselling and Humanistic Counselling degree courses. I was academic Programme Leader for the Dip/BA(Hons) Person Centred Counselling Programme at The Metanoia Institute, London for a number of years. I am Clinical Supervisor to counselling students and qualified therapists.
