I have had many roles, including project management, designing therapeutic groups for adult service users, offering 1:1 psychotherapy to individuals with severe and enduring mental health problems and also treating clients from primary care services.

More recently I have completed training in Dialectical behaviour Therapy which is an evidence based treatment for working with people who harm themselves and may have a diagnosis of a personality disorder or emotion regulation difficulties.
