I grew up in London, UK and have a background in art and design. After moving to Vancouver in 1987 I worked as a designer and raised two children. I was a palliative care volunteer for many years before gaining a Masters in Counselling Psychology. 


Nowadays, I have a private practice and work as an Associate Counsellor at The Adler Centre, a non-profit counselling clinic serving the community of Vancouver’s lower mainland. I am fortunate to be a part of a thriving community clinic and greatly value the respect and support we offer each other. I appreciate the  colleagual atmosphere and the opportunity to support gifted and caring interns.

​

I greatly value my life experience and increasingly recognize how much this assists my work with clients. Now in my 60s, I have arrived at a place of deep satisfaction and meaning.

 

I would like to thank Virginia Axline, whose book "Dibs; In Search of Self" first drew me to work in this field when I was fourteen.
