I am a Neurosomatic Therapist, specialising in helping long-term sufferers of ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia to make a full recovery and return to a healthy, active life. I successfully recovered from M.E. after 25 years of illness, using a related mind-body approach. I have recently written a book with my colleague Fiona Adamson on the Neurosomatic Approach to recovery from M.E./CFS and Fibromyalgia, plus we are preparing a Step-by-Step Recovery Workbook.

• Volume 1 on Chronic Neurosomatic Illness was published in November 2015 (available from Amazon)
• Volume 2 on Recovery from Chronic Neurosomatic Illness is due for publication in 2022.

I am not a medically-trained doctor, but trained and worked as a research scientist for 30 years, and have undertaken training in mind-body therapy, CBT, and counselling skills - although I do NOT advocate CBT for these illnesses! I have been working with clients with ME/CFS and Fibromyalgia since 2009.

If you would like to discuss any of the elements of our Neurosomatic Treatment for M.E., CFS or Fibromyalgia, do contact me at Wellwise4ME via email. We are always happy to talk about our approach and answer any questions you may have about the treatment.

I have over 30 years' experience as a psychotherapist, supervisor, and coach, working with people from all walks of life who wish to live well, productive and happy lives.

My particular focus has been working with people in transition from one stage of life to another, those simply seeking a place to talk through to a new understanding of themselves and where they are going in life, and people who feel trapped by illness.

My clients find me a calm and accepting person to talk to, a person who takes them seriously, and I work with humour when appropriate. In my long experience of working with people I have found that when we are willing to explore who we really are, what we really value, and what we really want in life for ourselves and those we love, then we can achieve well-being.

I have had many years of training in a variety of therapeutic approaches, including the study of the relationship between the mind and the body. I have learned a great deal, including from my own life challenges, all of which has informed how I work with people. These studies and experiences have led me, with Judith Maizels, to develop Neurosomatic Therapy, inspired by the very latest research into psychobiology, neuro-immunology, and other successful mind-body approaches to well-being.

Until I retired from full-time work in 2008, I was an accredited and registered psychotherapist. I have been coaching since 1991 and am now an accredited coach supervisor, mentor, trainer, and wellness practitioner working part-time.

I am also licensed to provide HeartMath® Coaching Programmes which offer a range of effective stress management and well-being tools. Click here for more information.

When you are ready to take some challenging and possibly bold steps to get well again, then I am ready to support and encourage you to find the strength and skills you need to do so. You will find in Neurosomatic Therapy an approach to your symptoms that is truly liberating and will change your life for the better.
