I have limited availability on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings for face to face work (in the Farringdon/Barbican area of Central London). I also work online.

I am a skilled and compassionate Gestalt counsellor, coach, coach supervisor and occupational therapist, with a deep curiosity and intuition about people. I believe that a client’s narrative is the best way of getting to know them; where they are in the context of their lives and where they might be thinking about going. Clients describe me as reflective, with a supportive non-directive approach.

For many years my professional interest and experience has been in exploring what keeps a person well in the workplace, particularly managing mental health and wellbeing, returning to work following burnout or long-term illness/absence.  I have also worked extensively with disabled clients and neurodivergent clients.  

My experience has been rich and varied traversing the NHS, European Commission, voluntary, social enterprise and corporate sectors. 

I have a Diploma in Gestalt Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the Metanoia Institute, and a BSc and MSc in Occupational Therapy. In addition I am a registered Occupational Therapist with the UK Health and Care Professions Council, and a Certified Coach with the European Mentoring and Coaching Council at Senior Practitioner Level. I also hold Certificates in Supervision from The Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, and a Certificate in Humanistic Counselling from the Gestalt Centre.

I offer a complimentary 20 minute chemistry session to discuss what it is you are looking for and how counselling/coaching might help.  This also gives each of us a chance to see if we are a good match or not -  the relationship is key.
