My work experience
I have over thirty years experience of working with people. I began in social work with children and families, work which included adoption and fostering, physical and mental disability, and mental health.
During that time I trained as a family therapist, registering with the Association of Family Therapy in 1993. Following that, I was registered with The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy, which regulates therapists.
I have had a private practice for 17 years. During that time, I have also worked in the NHS at Southmead Hospital and the Bristol Royal Infirmary, and currently work part-time in the NHS in South Gloucestershire, all of which has been in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. I also see clients in Adult and Children's Services at the Priory Hospital in Bristol, a private psychiatric hospital.
