As a counsellor, psychotherapist and analyst I work with people who come from many backgrounds and interests, including couples and groups. People come wishing to review their lives or in crisis; we think together about the patterns in their lives, relevance to previous experience and symbolic meaning.

My particular commitment to the arts has been reflected, to some part, in those who have come to see me. Also those from medical, religious and other interests have also found analytic therapy helpful; as do the senior management teams in two London Hospitals, where we work together on team communications.

Professionally, as a therapist, supervisor and trainer, I worked with ethical concepts and was the first Chair of the Complaints Committee for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy [BACP], later chairing the Ethics Committee of the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapy [UKCP].

My publications include "Complaints and Grievances in Psychotherapy" Routledge 1998, in 2000; co-editing 'Ethics and Values in Psychotherapy', and various book chapters.

From 1998-2008 I developed Analytical Psychology in Poland.

I have a smallholding and particularly enjoy gardening.
