I began counselling in 2007 after working as a doctor for children and young people in the UK, the Caribbean, Africa and the Middle East for many years.

Treasured Space was established in 2012 and has helped survivors of a variety of experiences including poor parenting, sexual abuse, relationship trauma, assaults, military trauma, bullying, school trauma, bereavements and medical traumas.

I have gained extensive experience working in services for general counselling, childhood and adult sexual trauma, alcohol misuse and an NHS Post Traumatic Stress Disorder clinic.

My qualifications include a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling from the University of Bristol, and a Diploma in Clinical Supervision and Consultancy from the NAOS Institute.

I am a Trauma Therapist and an EMDR Consultant. I follow Ethical Guidelines and belong to the General Psychotherapy Council.
