About Me

​

I am a Registered Accredited BACP counsellor, supervisor and therapist based in Bristol, and I run groups using writing for wellbeing. I am a tutor on Metanoia's MSc in Creative Writing for Therapeutic Purposes course; I've worked as a tutor for Network Training and Counselling; and I've contributed to the Medical Humanities course for medics in Bristol.

​

I work as a Supervisor for other counsellors.

​

Over the years I've worked in the media, education, the NHS and been the home parent to my two sons.

​

I've been writing on and off for most of my life, including doing an MA in Creative Writing. However, recent life events led me to a change of direction resulting in my work using creative writing therapeutically, and my practice as a counsellor.

​

My personal exploration has included all sorts of writing, poetry, fiction, screenplays; a spiritual journey; and an emotional and personal path that has included the death of my father, and severe illness within my family. I continue to discover more about life and being human every day.
