When i'm not a therapist
Having new experiences- I will try anything once! (Not bungee jumping though).
Music-Different depending on the day and mood but metal would be my default.
Sports - Don't ask which team :) I enjoy live football and rugby as well as watching athletics.
Art- I like to say I'm creative but not an artist.
Animals- Tigers and pandas have to be the favourites and I have a dog at home called Usain.
Exercise- Zumba, Pilates and weights training.
I am a fully qualified and accredited member of the BABCP. This means my training and practice is regularly reviewed by a central professional body. The BABCP register of therapists can be accessed below.
