I am a BPS Chartered Psychologist, an HCPC Registered Counselling Psychologist and a UKCP registered Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist. I am currently Professor of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Department of Psychology at University of Roehampton, where I teach psychoanalytic theory and practice for trainees on the PsychD. Counselling Psychology programme. I am also engaged in clinical and research supervision.

I now have a part-time private practice in West London where I offer psychotherapy, counselling and clinical and research supervision.

I regularly review for the British Journal of Psychotherapy, British Journal of Guidance and Counselling and The International Journal for Psycho-Analysis. I have authored numerous papers on organisational dynamics, clinical practice and training and the relationship between psychoanalysis and literature.The Industrialisation of Care, co-edited with Catherine Jackson, was published by PCCS Books in 2019. From Fiction to Psychoanalysis: re-imagining a relationship will be published by Routledge in 2022.
