Origins:

Hiatus therapy services began in 2016, emerging from many years of rigorous training and professional practice in counselling, psychotherapy, and adult psychosocial education. Since then, the service has grown into a respected and trusted space for therapeutic work. Its ethos is rooted in professionalism, ethical practice, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience.

My therapeutic approach:

I am a BACP member and state regulated practitioner with advanced training and postgraduate qualifications including an MA in psychological therapies, counselling and psychotherapy practice, counselling psychology, advanced and educational psychology, psychiatry, adult education, learning and development, professional coaching, cognitive behavioural therapy and mental‑health practice. My clinical work integrates therapeutic intervention, psychosocial formulation and reflective practice. The approach is grounded in ethical rigour, psychological depth and a relationally attuned stance that supports accurate assessment and meaningful therapeutic change.

Professional Background:

My clinical and educational expertise has contributed to BBC documentary work, and I have delivered training and accreditation for organisations including the mental health charity MIND, the Department for Work and Pensions, and the National Open College Network. Across these settings, I enhanced psychological understanding, strengthened reflective capacity, and supported individuals and professionals to engage with mental health provision in more reflective, meaningful, and purposeful ways.
