I am a qualified counsellor and psychosexual therapist with a Certificate in Relationship Counselling and a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychosexual Therapy. The latter is a higher qualification than that held by most sex therapists.

I have 22 years experience working as a counsellor with Relate and in my private practice.

I am a Bupa network counsellor and am retained by 'Legal Reports and Services' for insurance-funded accident victim support.

I am a member of The British Association of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (BASRT) and I subscribe to their professional standards. I am also a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

I have a BSc and MSc in Statistics and I had a successful career first as a statistician and then in general management.

I held senior positions in three organisations and I believe that I can understand the personal and family pressures that work can generate.
