My Profile
I have always been fascinated in how people make sense of life; their joy and suffering in the light of both extraordinary and mundane experience. This led me to study theology and philosophy at Westminster College, Oxford; and then education as a postgraduate at Hughes Hall College, Cambridge.
My understanding of how people learn and make meaning has developed through insight into myself and of the nature of the dialogical learning process through teaching infants, adolescents and adults in mainstream and special needs education; and as a lecturer to under- and postgraduates. Eventually, in what seemed to me to be a natural progression, I trained as a psychotherapist at The Whittington Hospital (NHS Trust) in London. I have since taught counselling and psychotherapy at universities and various private training programs.
Though the core of my work is as a therapist I transfer the insight and skills I have learnt into working with organisations in the public and private sector. I have since trained as a couple counsellor, supervisor, executive coach and organisation development consultant and now divide my time between clinical work in Cambridge and Central London, organisation consultancy, executive coaching and training therapists in the UK and overseas.
Previous work includes;
* Psychotherapist within the NHS
* Supervision of Asian and African clergy training as counsellors
* Summer school counsellor and teacher in Crimea
* Trauma counsellor at London Underground
* Trainer and supervisor of volunteers working with homeless people
* Student counsellor at Greenwich Maritime

* Coaching leaders in business, the church and academia
