Phoenix Rising

While working for Relate for ten years, I became aware of the enormous number of problems that people have. I was particularly concerned with the break down of couple relationships and wanted to begin a business which would support, heal and enrich couple relationships. I was particularly interested in helping people who had unexpected adversity in their lives as this makes life so much more complicated. I was also aware of the suffering that can be caused when children and their parents do not understand each other.

I am an experienced clinician with over thirty years of experience behind me in counselling and related research in to relationships. I have also had a rich and varied life quite outside of my work. I am well travelled and know about the experience of migration and disability from first hand experiences. While still an American, I have lived with my family in the UK since 1970 and have children and grandchildren.

I am happy to provide counselling online or remotely. I find FaceTime to be the better platform, but also use zoom.

I spray and clean the room with disinfectant cleanser between each client and social distancing is maintained at all times. Clients are also asked to use disinfectant gel when entering the counselling room. Handshakes are not permitted, but touching elbows is.
