I was ordained as an Interfaith Minister & Spiritual Counsellor in August 2005, having completed the 2 year training program with the Interfaith Seminary.

This was an inspirational experience that has not only provided me with multi-faith knowledge and skills, but has also confirmed my commitment to my own spiritual journey and to the diversity of faiths and beliefs. As an interfaith minister I have been trained to meet emerging spiritual needs, and to honour, value and respect difference across faiths, whilst focussing and building on the commonalities. As a result of this training I feel well equipped to act as a non-denominational minister supporting the spiritual needs of individuals of all faiths or none. Since being ordained I have been regularly involved in devising and delivering a range of ceremonies for families and individuals where more than one faith is represented.

I hold a BA in Combined Studies and a MA in Counselling & Psychotherapy. I have over 20 years experience of counselling and providing spiritual support in a variety of settings. I qualified as a Reiki Master/Teacher in 2008.

My work is about celebrating life as much as dealing with illness and with loss. It is keeping this balance which makes us whole. I work with people on an individual level to help them to achieve their ultimate potential and to live their life as fully as possible.

I am an accredited supervisor trained by the Centre for Counselling & Psychotherapy Education, London . I am able to provide supervision to other ministers and students in training, and also offer a supervisory relationship to people working in other professional settings.

I am a registered general nurse, trained in London, with over 30 years experience of working with people living with chronic, life-threatening illness. My work in healthcare is dedicated to a holistic approach to individuals and particularly in end of care.

I believe that as an Interfaith Minister and experienced nurse counsellor I can offer:
