About Me
I realise it can't be easy choosing a therapist because how do you know what to look for? Well first I would urge you to read my qualifications at the bottom of the page and to read the "Code of Conduct" and "Complaints Procedure" I abide by under "About Us" on the www.aamet.org. However, what is equally important is that you are comfortable with your therapist which is why I offer a FREE consultation so we can get to know each other first and you have the chance to ask any questions you wish. I also believe it's essential for any therapist to continually develop their skills and that's why I attend conferences, meetings and professional courses.
I have always been keen to raise the standards of professionalism within the holistic therapy field and in 2009 I was elected as Chairperson of the Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques. This gave me the opportunity to make major transformations within the Association and introduce important statutory guidelines. These changes have raised AAMET's profile with the public and regulatory bodies and on 30 March 2010 AAMET was awarded Voluntary Organisation status (No VO/0400). Becoming a professional body also offered the opportunity to raise awareness of energy psychology techniques and make them available to all.
As an International AAMET Master Trainer in EFT and only one of 20 worldwide - I endorse quality training and all my students receive my utmost support and guidance, wherever in the world they are. Up to date courses can be found here.
Having worked in a Cancer Support Centre for nearly 3 years primarily using EFT, it helped me realise how cancer patients and their carers responded to emotional therapy. Seeing patients and their carers become empowered, whilst at the same time helping them with their symptoms, was remarkable and the rewards were immense. My future mission is to enable as many people as possible to use EFT responsibly to help themselves. It was this idea that lead me to write "Emotional Freedom Technique for Dummies" which has been so successful it's been translated into several languages and used as a training tool.
On a personal level, my past career was as a Manager in the Civil Service and in a 6 year period I was appointed manager of 5 different projects including Human Resources, Communications, IT, Business Planning, and Analytical Research. I was reaching burnout and my physical health was compromised. I continued to pursue my interest in the "mind/body connection" and I used the skills I'd been trained in over the years to help with my recovery. I was also a Youth and Adult Magistrate for 17 years and Chair of the Magistrates' Mentoring Team for 2 years. In 2005 I was nominated Woman of the Year.
My own childhood however was far from privileged and for a while I was brought up in a Children's Home. I've also suffered more than my fair share of personal tragedies, witnessing how unresolved emotional problems lead to long term issues such as addictions, instability, relationship breakdowns, illnesses and diseases.
I am now happy to say that my own emotional, physical and spiritual health is in harmony and by combining my life's experiences, together my therapeutic skills, I look forward
to helping you put your life back in balance too.
