I have been a person-centred counsellor in North Wales, working with clients across the age span (children, adolescents, adults and couples) since I moved to the area nearly fifteen years ago.

Why did you choose to train (or retrain) in EMDR therapy?

More recently, I trained in EMDR after meeting a colleague at the hospital where I worked, who was EMDR trained. Hearing her describe her work intrigued me, and I wanted to learn more. I am now working in private practice, and I am an EMDR Europe Accredited Consultant working with children and adolescents, adults and families and offering supervision.

What is your favourite place on the planet?

When I am not working I can usually be found working in the vegetable garden at my home in Wales.
