I've been a counsellor since 2004 and psychotherapist since 2005. I also use EMDR for trauma-based problems. I love to write (creatively) in my spare time having completed an MA in Comedy Writing Skills and have also found that Therapeutic Writing is a great tool not just to quieten my own chatter, but to offer as a 'take-home' resource to clients.

I have found this particularly useful for clients who sometimes find it difficult to express themselves verbally including clients who have ADHD or identify as neurodiverse. Where physically writing is difficult, drawing or scribbling and doodling works too.

I try to keep fit during the week since most of my time is spent sitting down. When I'm not writing stuff down or working, I ride a motorbike; a win-win situation-fresh air without the effort.
