I’ve worked in mental health services for more than twenty years, in crisis centres, residential care homes, supported housing schemes and day centres. I started counselling and psychotherapy training in the 1990’s when I worked at a therapeutic community in Bristol and I moved to London in 1996 to begin a psychoanalytic training with the Centre for Freudian Analysis and Research. I moved back to Bristol in 2013 to start working with clients and in 2024 I became a member of The College of Psychoanalysts – UK.
