Professional background
Experience across mental health, addiction, and complex clinical settings.
I am the Director of The Farrer Therapy Group Ltd and the Founder of Peers in Practice, a professional community supporting therapists working in complex clinical areas.
My career has spanned NHS services, third-sector organisations, and specialist addiction settings. This breadth of experience allows me to work confidently and compassionately with clients who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin.
Specialist interests
Particular expertise in overlap, complexity, and the patterns people often blame themselves for.
Substance use and addiction
Urges, relapse prevention, shame cycles, and safer coping strategies.
ADHD and addiction comorbidity
Understanding how traits, coping strategies, and cycles of use can interact.
Complex presentations
Support when anxiety, low mood, trauma, self-criticism, or relationship patterns overlap.
