I am a fully qualified Adult and Child Behaviour Therapist.

Prior to working in a private practice as a counsellor I worked for the NHS for over 20 years as a nurse both in the Mental Health Service as a Psychiatric Nurse and also several large teaching hospitals across the country as a General Adult Nurse and Sick Children Nurse. I also offer consultation lectures/seminars to Universities, Child Welfare Groups and Schools on Child Emotional and Behaviour issues and adult emotional problems.

I have up to date satisfactory police checks by the Criminal Records Bureau that prove me to be a safe practitioner and am able to show you this evidence when we meet.
