My Background:
I worked in the private sector for many years and have a strong interest in workplace dynamics and challenges. I have worked with individuals and groups in at Sussex Partnership Trust and charities including Terrence Higgins Trust. I currently work for the Clinic for Dissociative Studies offering therapy to people with diagnosed dissociative disorders.
