I have worked as a counsellor, supervisor and counsellor trainer for over 35 years and am BACP accredited. I have trained in a wide range of therapeutic modalities, although CFT is now my therapeutic ‘home’ as it resonates strongly with my personal and professional beliefs and values. I have worked in the UK, Australia and New Zealand in many different agencies, as well as independently. I really enjoy the flexibility, creativity and playfulness which is such a vital part of the CFT and CMT ‘mahi’.
