I specialise in therapeutic work with children of all ages and their parents. I have worked with children and their families since the 1980s, initially as a registered nurse, then in education, and for 12 years as  a full-time school-based counsellor in international schools working across the age range, before starting independent practice in 2017, based near Shaftesbury in North Dorset. I am an Accredited member of The British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), as well as a member of the EMDR Association UK  and I work according to their Ethical Frameworks. Having raised four children abroad for a significant part of their childhood, a special interest area for me is Third Culture Kids (TCKs): exploring the impact other cultures have in shaping our identity when we live in them, move between them and return to the 'home' country.
