As a very experienced intentional tort litigator and a practising trauma-informed psychotherapist, I have a very unique perspective and offer in-house niche professional development opportunities.

 My passion for justice-seeking began when I first qualified as a lawyer, 30 years ago, advocating and acting for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence and other violations of personal and professional integrity. This work fuelled the establishment of my law firm, Artemis Legal, which focused on accountability for wrongs and gave voice, recompense, and recognition to over 8,000 survivor clients who had been silenced or harmed through individual or institutional misuse of power. 

I trusted the urge to explore different ways to accompany those seeking healing from trauma.

This led me to undertake an Advanced Diploma in Transpersonal Art Therapy and a Master of Psychotherapy and Counselling with Distinction.

Prior to starting my specialist trauma recovery psychotherapy practice, I worked at the Blue Knot Foundation, a support service for people affected by complex trauma, and their globally recognised trauma guidelines and trauma-informed principles form the bedrock of my work.

I uniquely understand the experience of lawyers and clients navigating the path of justice-seeking. I bring this considerable experience and expertise to support CPD, skills development and one-on-one counselling support to law firms specialising in this very important work. 

My niche offering differentiates the legal firms that are committed to practising trauma-informed law, prioritising the retention, expertise and wellbeing of their staff, which in turn delivers significant benefits to survivor clients engaging with the legal system.
