I have worked as a Lecturer in the Counselling Department since 2017 and teach on the BA Counselling, Coaching and Mentoring Degree as well as delivering a small number of sessions on the PG Diploma in Counselling. I am an active researcher and am currently interested in the development of anger management programmes using Mindfulness and Transactional Analysis. I am a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor using the integrative psychotherapeutic technique of Transactional Analysis. I am interested in working with the psychodynamic approach known as Transference Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) which is effective when working with clients with deep personality organisation issues. In a varied career I have worked in the charity sector, as a self-employed market research consultant and in my own private counselling practice. In my current counselling practice, I see both individuals and groups through the York St John Counselling and Mental Health Clinic. My qualifications reflect the variety of roles I held before becoming a counsellor.
