I am a constellations facilitator, a UKCP Registered psychotherapist and supervisor. I have a background as a musician and am now a practicing artist. 

I began facilitating Constellation workshops in 2001 while living in Edinburgh. In 2023, along with my colleague Sheila McCarthy Dodd I launched the first CSC (Centre for Systemic Constellations) Constellation Training to take place in Scotland, and the second one is now under way.

I live now in Oxford, where I grew up. I initially trained at the Royal Academy of Music and started out my working life as a cellist. Classical music training involves a deep experience of listening, practising, hearing and being heard that has never left me, even though since my 40s I no longer actually play an instrument. (but recently I did buy a treble recorder…). I love to sing, when the opportunity arises. When I am constellating, I never stop listening.

My psychotherapy training was at the Gestalt Centre London, and I’ve always been drawn to exploring different approaches including movement and dance. I’ve played many different roles: I’ve been a nursery teacher, a taxi-driver, a massage therapist, a school project manager with Place2Be and a cancer counselor amongst others. The “soup” that is me is flavoured with all these different experiences.  

Since I moved back to Oxford I’ve had more time to make art (including spending 5 winter months in Ullapool on a full time art course). Art is a part of my life, with all the delights and challenges that it brings. You can read a bit here.
