Areas of specialist interest and experience include Neurodevelopmental Psychology and Clinical Psychotherapy.

I have a background in Cognitive Science (Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience) and have worked in various NHS mental health services, including; neurodevelopmental paediatrics, specialist child and adolescent mental health services, emotional and behavioural difficulties, high risk adolescent mental health, specialist eating disorder services, adult psychodynamic psychotherapy services, group psychodynamic psychotherapy services, acute adult inpatient services and medium secure forensic services.

I have completed advanced psychotherapy training in Existential Analysis, an approach focused on exploring a person’s subjective, lived experience in the world.

I am a member of the Society of Existential Analysis and am accredited by the UKCP and the BACP which are the main accrediting bodies in the United Kingdom for trained psychotherapists. I am professionally accountable to the UKCP’s code of ethics.

I co-facilitate groups and teach seminars on various psychotherapy courses for the Philadelphia Association (established in 1965) where I also work as a house therapist.

I write about psychotherapy, philosophy and politics.
