About me and my therapy practice

Training helps us to develop our confidence and abilities throughout our career

I have a real passion for training. Over the past 30 years, I have designed and facilitated many different types of training for a variety of audiences and settings. I skilfully facilitate workshops, seminars and lectures and deliver keynote speeches at conferences. I receive very positive feedback from participants, who report that they find me knowledgeable, clear, and responsive to their needs as an audience.

I have a global outlook having worked with international audiences, participants and lived in different countries. I have listed below the types of workshops and groups that I routinely deliver:

Psycho-educational workshops 

Personal development

Bespoke trainings for college senior tutors at Cambridge University

Teaching on professional trainings for therapists and university staff

Practice description

Universities and Colleges

I was the head of the university counselling service at Cambridge University for over 7 years and worked in universities for over 20 years. I can deliver welfare, wellbeing, or student mental health related trainings to students or staff in your institutions. From listening skills for tutors, managing professional boundaries, responding to sexual assault disclosures, reflective practice groups for welfare staff, or bespoke trainings for senior tutors.

I am a visiting professor at Tongji and Fudan universities in Shanghai and lectured at Leicester and Birmingham Universities and contribute to national research in student counselling, mental health and wellbeing.

In addition, I am the past chair of BACP Universities and Colleges Division and HUCS ( heads of University Counselling Services).
