I hold a professional doctorate in Counselling Psychology from the University of Roehampton and am a chartered member of the British Psychological Society (membership number 317131). I am also registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (registration number PYL38040). Of course I am enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked.
I have worked in the NHS since 2014. My NHS experience covers cancer rehabilitation, eating disorders, chronic pain and palliative care. I have also worked in a Community Mental Health Service.
Prior to beginning my training in Counselling Psychology I gained a Diploma in Psychology from the Open University while working full time as a project manager in the telecommunications industry. I therefore have plenty of working experience outside psychology and know very well the stresses, strains and joys of working in a high-pressure business world.
