With 33 years experience, I am a competent and compassionate Therapist that works predominantly with adults.

About Me

I am a Registered Professional Counselor based in Kendal, Cumbria, United Kingdom. I help adults and families recover from abuse, chronic illness and PTSD with focused trauma counselling and adoption support.

I originally trained as a Rogerian therapist and over the years added more trainings and skills. Finally I have moved to body based therapies that are very affective with PTSD, complex PTSD.
