I am a European Certified Person Centred Therapist, a Certified Focusing Oriented Therapist and Trainer, and a Certifying Coordinator of The International Focusing Institute New York. I graduated in the U.K. as a Sociologist and Political Scientist (1978) and then found myself in the world of Finance and Shipping both in Rotterdam , Holland and Greece. but after 23 years (for personal reasons)I began in 2002 a training in Greece in Focusing, and then as a Person Centred and Focusing Oriented therapist, I qualified in 2007 and continued as a trainer in training. In 2009 I returned to University and completed my M.A. in Focusing Oriented Therapy and Research Methods at UEA. I also completed during these 2012 at the Center for Partnership Studies , with Dr. Riane Eisler a Certification in Caring Economics Leadership Program : Women’s Empowerment Track.

In 2012, I left my Shipping and Finance life behind and since then, I have continued to be involved in the Person Centred Approach and Focusing. I am happily ensconced in teaching and training Focusing Groups, Certified Focusing Professionals and Focusing-Oriented Therapists, as well as offering individual therapy sessions. I have continued my learning into the fields of Thinking at the Edge, Philosophy of the Implicit, Somatic Trauma Therapy, and Polyvagal Theory, all of which I incorporate into my life and into all levels of my training programs and sessions. I find that each of these approaches are relevant to today’s ever-changing times, in fact I believe that their development and practice are a response to our intricate and often confusing world. I also feel that a good sense of humor is imperative to our therapeutic modes and wholeheartedly believe in E.Gendlin’s “The Politics of Giving away Therapy” and my guiding light is Roger’s view that “a person is a fluid process, not a fixed and static entity: a flowing river of change, not a block of solid material: a continually changing constellation of potentialities, not a fixed quantity of traits.”
