I am a TSTA (Psychotherapy) based in the UK, and a UKCP-registered psychotherapist and supervisor. I am one of the founding directors and the Academic Director of a TA training centre called Connexus Institute, which is based in Brighton and Hove on the South Coast. Alongside my teaching, I run a private psychotherapy and supervision practice. Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked for many years in higher education as a university lecturer and academic manager, teaching in the UK and abroad.
