After completing specialist training in Anger Management with The British Association of Anger Management, I have specialised in the field since 2010. This is a natural development from over 30 years of professional work in the field of communication therapy. I am most passionate about the ability we all have to develop healthy emotional management and change our lives and relationships for the better.

I believe that my experience both as a parent and in my varied career as a business owner, therapist and hospital manager, give me the insight to help. Over twenty years practising as a communication therapist, mostly with adult clients who have neurological/psychiatric conditions, I have experience of delivering a wide variety of training programmes both in groups and on an individual basis. My work as a therapist has been strongly influenced by solution focussed therapy and I am keen to encourage my clients to draw on their own strengths to find ways to express their anger more assertively, with the help of the tools and strategies developed through my study and clinical experience.

I have gained many insights into my own skills through parenting two daughters over the past twenty-five years. I recently stepped down from a voluntary chairmanship role with Birmingham Cruse Bereavement Care. Originally a Londoner, attending University in Glasgow, and having spent many years living in the East Midlands, I arrived in Birmingham City Centre just a few years ago and believed I have discovered one of the best-kept secrets – how fabulous Birmingham is!! I also work as a court intermediary for vulnerable defendants across the UK.
