Get to know more about me
Background
Prior to beginning therapeutic work, I studied and worked for 10 years at the University of Oxford and later for Glasgow University as an applied statistics researcher and lecturer. Whilst therapeutic work is very different in nature, I find clear thinking and an ability to hold focus and recognise patterns within a wider context really helps me to work gently and effectively with complex and confusing experiences.
I have experienced struggle and challenge in my own life and therapy has helped me to connect with my own capacity to be who I am today.
