Before deciding to focus solely on psychotherapy and counselling I have worked in international banking and finance around the globe in places such as France, Singapore and Australia. In addition to counselling and psychotherapy, I have an interest in Addictions, Family Constellation work, and Psychosexual issues.
I have worked in Primary Care for the NHS (GP counselling), a specialist agency for people with alcohol issues, and in a drug addiction/ harm-reduction centre. In addition, I have worked previously in conjunction with the Probation Service and I have worked for Huntingdon Regional College as college counsellor for students and staff.
Alongside my private individual practice, I work with RAPt (HMP Prison Service) running a support group as part of my private practice for individuals, couples and groups, and I work for a national drugs and alcohol charity - Addaction - in both Huntingdon and St Neots. |
