My expertise and experience as a psychotherapist is backed up with decades of experience in the business world. 

As well as the therapy practice, I also run my own management consulting business working with lawyers, accountants, surveyors and marketing professionals. I have years of successful coaching experience - helping senior and junior people to learn, grow and reach their full potential. 

I have had seven books published - one was on relationships and another was on soft skills.
