Who am I?

I have spent my whole life working with people. After first studying Social Anthropology I worked with students before training for ordination as a priest in the Church of England in 1990/91. After seven years of parish work I became a university chaplain in order to concentrate on pastoral care. During the eighteen years I spent in that role I served on the management of the Oxford University Counselling Service and led my college's welfare provision. The experience of working closely with young adults and with staff in crisis, in the challenges of emotional development and distress, led me to train as a Psychodynamic Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I qualified in 2013, and completed a year of Masters Degree research in 2014. I spent five years as a counsellor and board member for a local low cost counselling organisation called The Listening Centre in Blackbird Leys, before returning to London in 2015, where I worked as a part time Psychodynamic Counsellor at Calmer Clinics in Pimlico, and in private practice, until 2021.
