I have worked in a variety of roles which have culminated in my role now as MD of CLCS Wellbeing. Founding and leading a charity, having been a nurse, researcher, foster carer as well as my work as a counsellor, coach, trainer and organisational trauma consultant, have provided me with a breadth and depth of experience which leads me to a place where one of my greatest satisfactions is being able to draw on all aspects of my, and the team’s, experience and training, and tailor them to the needs of those with whom we are working.

My career has taken me from the frontline of homelessness services to leading a national government programme, founding an award-winning charity, and working as a psychotherapist, executive coach, facilitator, and organisational consultant. The threads running through it all has been a fascination with people and the conversations that help us make sense of ourselves and one another. I believe meaningful conversations have the power to change us. My work is about creating moments that matter, spaces where people feel understood, reconnect with what matters most, and leave with a little more clarity, courage, and aliveness.

I work for CLCS Wellbeing as a Case Manager. I wouldn't describe myself as having a specialism, but I do have an interest in working with anxiety, addictions and relationships. On the case management side I (and the team) are focussed on trauma and the ways in which this can present in a client, and the ways in which a time-limited approach can help someone in this situation. As a therapist I work psycho-dynamically, working typically with affect and defence mechanisms.

My work for CLCS Wellbeing as a trauma therapist, supervisor and facilitator draws together various threads of my career. I have a particular interest in relational trauma. I work with clients to help them gain a better understanding of how they experience their relationships and the world and increase awareness of their emotional and behavioral patterns. I aim to provide a calm, accepting space, where difficulties can be explored and experiences processed. This I believe can lead to increased connection to self, creativity and meaningful and lasting change.

I've been fortunate to work across a range of roles, from senior leadership in corporate finance to leadership consultancy, executive coaching, facilitation and psychotherapy. Each has taught me something different about people, relationships and change. Today, I bring these experiences together to support leaders, teams and individuals navigate complexity with greater awareness and confidence. Alongside this, I facilitate men's groups, helping men build more authentic and connected relationships. I'm particularly interested in what happens beneath the surface, where power, relationships and self-awareness shape both wellbeing and performance.

I have a passion for helping people heal and re-engage with life. I believe that meaningful change begins when people feel safe, understood, and supported, and I'm committed to creating a space where that can happen. My specialist area is supporting people to process trauma.  Alongside my clinical practice, I facilitate workshops with CLCS Wellbeing, supporting individuals and organisations to deepen their understanding of trauma, wellbeing, and human connection. Whether I'm working one-to-one or with groups, my aim is always to help people move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and hope.
