I have over 20 years experience as a therapist, supervisor, and trainer in private practice and large organisations. My specialism is in creating environments where the growth of the organism becomes inevitable. This is true whether the organism is an individual or an organisation.
I have a passion for creating these environments through my understanding and implementing a fusion between philosophy, theory, and practice of person-centred Psychotherapy.
