I also now work as a tutor and case study marker for Chrysalis Courses UK.


I have experience of working with a wide range of issues from anxiety and depression to alcoholism and gambling addiction. I consider myself to be a holistic therapist and I have a particular interest in the mind body connection. My experience of working as a doctor means that I have a good understanding of the working of the human body, drug treatments and ethics.


The main ethos of my practice is person centred and I have experience of working with solution focused therapy and motivational interviewing. I am also a trained mindfulness practitioner with experience of teaching Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Programmes.


When working with clients I am able to use a wide range of therapeutic techniques and tailor my approach to the individual. I am a member of the National Hypnotherapy Society and one of their Ambassadors".
