About Me

With over 20 years’ experience and having experienced burnout myself, I’m extremely passionate about my work in this field. My journey began over 25 years ago when I became unwell with an array of distressing and confusing physical symptoms including dizziness, nausea, heart palpitations, sight disturbances and exhaustion. I went to the Doctors feeling like I had the flu and what followed was a series of blood tests and hospital visits where nothing abnormal was noted. I was eventually diagnosed with ME/Chronic Fatigue by one medical expert and Depression by another which was very confusing. I then sought the help of a Psychotherapist who treated psychosomatic conditions and realised I was suffering from burnout. Luckily I was able to fully recover but this could have had a very different outcome had I not found the right support. This was why I decided to train as a therapist myself.

Over the past 20 years I have worked with clients in private practice, corporate environments and in a hospital psychiatric unit. I also have a background in Respiratory Psychophysiology as applied within the paradigm of Holistic Medical Psychotherapy which is the foundation of the successful Burnout Treatment programme I deliver. As a member of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists {NCIP} and of the Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council {CNHC} as a Hypnotherapist, I am committed to ongoing continuous professional development.
