About me

I am a Human Givens psychotherapist and I set up ‘a lagom life’ to help people quickly and confidently figure out their present challenges, get clear on what to change and how, and then bravely take first steps to repair, rebuild, transform and get some balance back in their life. The simple act of borrowing a brain for a session or a few is all it takes to create the space and perspective to tip the first domino and lead on to the next chapter of their life story.

I spent 25 years working in various process, analysis & consulting roles in IT, in both the private and public sector and helping other people has always been the part of my work, my volunteering (with a local mental health charity and food bank) and everyday life that has given me the most joy. Discovering the Human Givens organising idea I realised that by learning new skills and a fundamental, robust, psychobabble-free approach I could help more people in a better way.

I see clients from my therapy room based in Worksop (near the bus station). I also offer sessions via FaceTime or Zoom. Please get in touch for a free-of-charge initial telephone chat, so that I can better understand what it is you’d like to see change and for you to ask me any questions you might have.

I hold an enhanced DBS certificate and am registered with the ICO.
