I have been on the Management Committee since 2010. Initially as Treasurer then engaging in the role of Chairperson in 2013 to-date.

Like Simone, I originally have come from a corporate background, being a derivatives trader for 14years. My passion, however, lies in helping others and working in the field of mental health.

In 2001 I retrained as a psychotherapist and was the Clinical Director of a bereavement counselling charity for 10 years. In 2015, I set up my own therapeutic counselling business UniqueMinds Counselling Ltd, offering professional 1-1 counselling for children, young people and adults, in schools, corporate companies and private practice. I have a team of associate counsellors who work alongside me and share my passion too.
