My Experience
My 12 years of clinical practice have given me a broad and deep range of experience. I have worked with individuals, couples, and young people in both short-term and long-term therapy settings.
Beyond my clinical work, my experience includes:
-
Holding the post of Senior Lecturer and Programme Leader at a UK university.
