My background
Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked for many years in film, television and the corporate sector as a director, and also taught acting and film to drama and film students. This experience has given me an understanding of the world of business, the pressures of the workplace, and the challenges that face many people today in trying to achieve a healthy work-life balance.
