A little about my journey

I started my training in counselling after many years of searching for a fulfilling and manageable career. I am a qualified medical doctor with an MBBS in medicine and a BSc in psychology from the University of Reading. Having immersed myself in the counselling world I have not looked back. My counselling training introduced me to both professional and personal learning so necessary for work as a therapist. 

Working as a counsellor at the Colleges of the University of Cambridge I was faced with many clients who had disordered eating or a diagnosis of an eating disorder. This motivated me to train in depth and specialise in this area. I work holistically with each individual client. The therapy facilitates the exploration of their relationship with themselves.
