I was born in the United Kingdom but educated and trained in Cognitive Behavioral Psychology and Relational Psychotherapy in Canada and the Unites States. I have many years of counselling experience, beginning in the field of human resources, and later working for a sexual abuse/assault organisation for a long period of time. Before coming to France in 2007, I was in private practice for 5 years where I explored my particular interest in clients dealing with the difficulties of serious illness, both physical and emotional. I worked with clients experiencing many and varied problems. I now live in Dordogne, France, and I am reaching out to those who may benefit from my experience.

I am particularly interested in assisting those who are facing the challenge of serious illness and/or those of you who are caring for loved ones facing a major illness. Diseases such as cardiovascular disease (heart and stroke), cancer, Alzheimer's disease and weight-related illness such as diabetes are becoming more and more common and the stress created by such diagnoses brings anxiety, depression, relationship problems and fear of loss.
