Having become interested in psychology in the 1980s I took a BPS recognised degree in psychology in the early 1990s and followed up with a masters in cognitive science. Since then i have worked for over ten years for a global company offering employee assistance programs (EAP) around the world and learned much about helping people in the workplace. While still there I started a series of courses at Oxford University leading to the completion of a diploma in Psychodynamic Practice and have been seeing clients since 2007. This career has much to offer in terms of learning and has spurred me on to follow up on my initial training with several other courses and many workshops.
