I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor, author and creative coach best known for my calm, uplifting and solution-focused approach. I draw on my past experience in therapeutic arts, training, and coaching, to assist in my counselling practice.

I have always been interested in human nature and curious about how the mind works, asking questions such as: What motivates us? What stops us from achieving what we really want to achieve? How do we go about doing things differently to get better results? 

Now it has led to a career in which I feel privileged in helping people overcome adversity to improve their happiness and wellbeing.

I am an author of Mindfulness for Peace of Mind and co-author of Inside Creativity Coaching (Routledge), Unleashing the Artist Within (Dover Press Inc.) and Naked Money: 29 Artists and Creatives Share the Truth About Art and Money by Eli Trier.

I now live and work in Burton-on-Trent and have a long association with the area. Presently I am writing and illustrating a book on ‘Back to Confidence’ to be released later this year.
