I am the Course Lead for the BA Counselling and Therapeutic Practice at the University of South Wales. I have worked as a CBT Therapist and Pluralistic Therapist in the voluntary sector, in educational settings and in private practice for the past eleven years and am an accredited member of the BACP. Prior to re-training, I worked in education for 20 years and have a specific interest in working with disability and Autism Spectrum Disorder. I was a member of the Oxfordshire Autistic Advisory Service, and was founder member and Chair of Thomley – a centre for families with disability - which I designed along a Pluralistic philosophy.
