I have a vast history of over seventeen years within various different care industries working with both adults, children, and their families in both NHS and private settings.

I have a background in Psychology, specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Integrative practice, with a special interest in working with both survivors and perpetrators of serial abuse. I have worked all over the country in IAPT settings and had a private practice.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation has always been a passion of mine, and I have been fortunate to have worked alongside both Turning Point and Iceni Ipswich previously.

I moved over to the Management side several years ago and have completed my Level 5 in Management and Leadership. I also have my Training qualification and have both written and delivered many training sessions.

I have an eye for details, and have strong knowledge of both the CQC and Ofsted regulations and have been awarded “Good".

I am always learning, and developing my skills through experience and continued personal development, while continuously striving for good practice and excellence in service.

I have also written two books under my pen name, and have plans for a range of both adults and children therapeutic books in the future.

He is a strong healthcare services professional with a Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) degree from Cambridge University Judge Business School.
