About Me

I have over 40 years of experience working with people of all ages in the field of mental health and wellbeing. My background includes extensive work in both the NHS and the independent sector as an Occupational Therapist and Play Therapist.

Currently, I work as a Lecturer at the University of South Wales. I have a supervision practice for Play Therapists, offering both supervision, mentorship and training. I am accredited by the British Association of Play Therapists and am an approved supervisor with Play Therapy UK.

I am also a Family Systemic Constellations Facilitator and Systemic Constellations Supervisor having trained with the Centre for Systemic Constellations (CSC). My training includes Systemic and Leadership Coaching (COLPI), and I’ve been involved in this work for over 20 years, offering workshops and individual sessions.

Creativity and compassion are at the heart of my approach. The Systemic Constellations method has profoundly influenced my worldview, helping me—and those I work with—discover new perspectives that lead to healing, clarity, and purpose.

I live in a small village in Somerset with my husband, where we care for the adjoining village hall nestled on the edge of Longleat Forest. Surrounded by nature, I find peace and inspiration in the sights and sounds of the forest.

Outside of work, I love gardening, walking, and simply sitting in the sunshine. I value a healthy work/life balance, which helps me stay present and grounded with my clients.

I’m also fortunate to have family in New Zealand—a country that deeply inspires me with its vast landscapes, mountains, and volcanoes. It’s a place that reminds me of the beauty and spaciousness that life can offer.
