I was born in Kenya and came to live in the UK when I was 8 years old. I am public school educated and was raised in Edinburgh. My background is in film and television. In 2003 I decided to re-train as a therapist. I started out working in residential crisis management, and went on to become a private counsellor and psychotherapist. I gained an honorary placement at Camden NHS, and have worked within GP practice, and addictions units. I also have experience as an educational facilitator, delivering workshops and presentations on mental health.
