A former journalist and writer, I hold a BA (Hons) in journalism and sociology and an MSc in rational-emotive and cognitive behaviour therapy (RECBT). I also hold a diploma in clinical hypnosis and another (with distinction) in cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy.

I run private practices in several South West London locations and also hold clinics at the Royal Brompton Hospital and the occupational health division of Medicentre (where I specialise in RECBT for work-related stress and other conditions).

I am registered with Anxiety UK and the National Smoking Cessation Institute (NSCI).

I am a full member of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis (BSCH) and a non-accredited member of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).
