About me and my therapy practice

Welcome to my page. I am an EMDR Europe Accredited Consultant who worked in health and social care for over 25 years, having initially qualified as a mental health social worker. I have an MA in Integrative Counselling and accreditation with the BACP. 

I worked for the NHS for over 20 years in a variety of roles in primary and secondary care, working across the trauma spectrum with a special interest in dissociation and attachment issues. 

I have successfully used EMDR to treat a range of issues including PTSD, childhood abuse, phobias, depression, anxiety, bereavement, addictions and OCD. 

Practice description

Although my main therapy is EMDR, my approach comes from a humanistic background which emphasises looking at the the whole person and the uniqueness of each individual. The biggest expert on you is yourself so I will work jointly with you to provide a comprehensive assessment of your needs and agree an appropriate treatment plan.

I sincerely believe in working at your pace and not assuming that I know what is best. 

My first session

My initial consultation is free because I want to get a sense of what it is that you want to work with and whether I might be the right person to help you. 

This will be an informal discussion with an agreement about how best to proceed. 

Whether it is single event trauma or more complex, longstanding issues, feel free to discuss them with me.
