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 have completed the CMF pathway of Introduction, Advanced, and Retreat workshops. I have also attended additional training with Prof Paul Gilbert and Drs. Chris Irons, Deborah Lee, Charlie Heriot-Maitland, Kate Lucre, Russell Kolts, Neil Clapton, and Syd Hiskey as well as Deirdre Fay. I am a regular delegate at the annual CMF conference and a member of the CFT and the Body Special Interest Group. I feel very privileged to belong to such an amazing community of people. I completed formal supervisor training as part of my doctorate. This involved reviewing taped individual supervision sessions with my supervisor, and co-facilitating supervision groups with her. There was also a theory / coursework component of this training. I am registered to begin the CMF supervisor training pathway this year. I attend monthly supervision with Dr. Neil Clapton. I have over 30 years experience working in the area of psychology and mental health. Earlier in my career I worked mainly with children and adolescents, and worked in an outpatient service for children who had experienced sexual abuse. My work now is with adults.
