I ran my own successful company for 33 years. During my time in business, I developed an interest in psychotherapy and undertook my training. I have found that my awareness of the benefits of meditation and self-development helped me enormously in both my business and my psychotherapy training. I posses a unique combination of business and mentoring skills combined with counselling and psychotherapy training. It was my dream of using these skills to benefit others that led me to my current work.
