In My Own Words

What do you like about your work (at The Retreat (Max 50 words) The freedom to develop new services and work collaboratively with my clients in developing and delivering therapy, training and supervision that enables people to overcome their difficulties, strengthen their intuitive wisdom enabling them to become their compassionate best for more of the time and enjoy better mental health and well-being for themselves and those around them.What do you like about your work (at The Retreat (Max 50 words) The freedom to develop new services and work collaboratively with my clients in developing and delivering therapy, training and supervision that enables people to overcome their difficulties, strengthen their intuitive wisdom enabling them to become their compassionate best for more of the time and enjoy better mental health and well-being for themselves and those around them.

Anything else you would like to share (Max 50 words) eg. interests outside of work that tell people something about how you approach life. I am a mental health professional who has over 20 years experience of working in mental health services and I have come to realise that in order to support others effectively we must start with ourselves. I have a daily mindfulness and compassion based mindful meditation practice and I meet regularly with my sangha (meditation group) to remain well supported.
