I am both clinical and pastoral counselor, and a psychodynamic psychotherapist, and I work as a private practitioner, first responder and supervisor. I started training in 2006 at the Institute of Counselling in Glasgow specialising in Couples and Family issues, Grief and Bereavement, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorders. I then continued with courses related to Couples and Family issues and Traumas at TCCR, Tavistock Centre for Couple Relationships, followed by training in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the University of Essex and pursued more studies at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. I completed a post-graduate psychotherapy degree at the psychiatric at Claude Bernard University Lyon 1 / CHU hospital Vinatier in Lyon and continued with residential and summer schools at TCCR to further her experience in relationships and families. In 2017 I was introduced to CFT by Chris Irons and throughout the years I have continued my training in CFT, which I now essentially apply in therapy. I facilitate the online European CFT peer support and intervention group.

Compassion Focused Therapy is a central part of my clinical practice. I have completed specialist training in Compassion Focused Therapy through the Compassionate Mind Foundation and continue to deepen my practice through ongoing training and supervision within compassion-focused approaches. Alongside my private practice, I work within NHS Talking Therapies where I am part of a Community Trauma Clinic supporting people who have experienced complex life adversities, including experiences such as childhood abuse, exploitation, and displacement. Within my NHS role I have also facilitated group supervision for therapists delivering Compassion Focused Therapy groups, supporting clinicians to reflect on formulation, develop confidence in compassion-based practices, and think together about the challenges that can arise when working with shame and self-criticism. I also work as an associate therapist with Balanced Minds, delivering Compassion Focused Therapy within their service. In my clinical work Compassion Focused Therapy often provides the central framework. Where helpful, I also draw on CBT, trauma-informed approaches, and EMDR, using compassionate formulation and compassion-based practices to support change. Supervision offers a space to think together about the clinical work, including the moments that can feel uncertain, stuck, or emotionally demanding. I continue to deepen my practice through regular clinical supervision and ongoing professional development within compassion-focused therapy.

I am a clinical psychologist, supervisor and trainer specialising in CFT. I have been using CFT in my practice for over ten years, having attended many CFT workshops (including the three day introductory training, advanced clinical skills, CFT approaches to trauma, working with people who hear voices, chair work, compassionate leadership, and compassion focused staff support). I completed a one year postgraduate certificate in CFT at the University of Derby in 2017. I receive monthly specialist CFT supervision, and have done so for the last seven years. I co-founded and co-facilitate a local CFT peer supervision group, which has been running for five years, as well as providing individual CFT supervision for a range of psychologists and therapists. I regularly deliver CFT training to trainee clinical psychologists, and have delivered a range of CFT workshops and training sessions within my NHS trust. I have a particular interest in staff wellbeing and compassion in teams and organisations, having worked in a staff wellbeing service for two years and developing and delivering a range of compassion-focused interventions (at individual, group, and system/organisational level) during this time.
