About Me.
I began my professional life working with children 0-16 years old and their families in North Kensington in various settings.This,I believe is the groundwork for psychotherapy as child/human development is the base for many counselling theories.It was also an invaluable introduction to working with people from all ages, backgrounds,and life experiences within my own varied community in West London.My current practice as a counsellor/psychotherapist is in North Kensington close to central London.

For nine years I worked as a lecturer facilitating students who wished to train as counsellors.
