I am a Senior Lecturer in counselling and mental health, a practising counsellor and coach. I came into counselling from a background in theatre and professional performance. I continue to be fascinated by how the areas of theatre practice and the talking therapies align with one another through a shared focus on introspective personal and professional development. Since 2013, I have been active in the field of coaching (executive, leadership, developmental etc.)
I teach on both the BA in Counselling and Mental Health and the Postgraduate Diploma in Humanistic Counselling. I love the combination of theoretical knowledge, personal development and experiential investigation that the subject area of counselling engenders. These elements of the subject combine to create exciting learning partnerships with our students.
