About me and my therapy practice
I am an experienced psychotherapist and accredited EMDR practitioner, providing psychological therapy for a range of client difficulties. My focus is helping clients manage the impact of stress, anxiety, PTSD, depression, or low mood and the affects these have in their lives and their relationships. I also focus on supporting clients to adjust to the impact of major life changes– these could be adjusting to bereavement, divorce or separation, illness, chronic health problems, redundancy or for example from changing job or location. It often includes supporting clients to work through past abuse, neglect, and attachment difficulties. Clients can also find it tricky setting boundaries and finding a way through conflict especially with people they love– so these are also difficulties we work through.
Practice description
I mainly work online. I work with clients based anywhere in the UK. I use an encrypted video platform: zoom or emdrremote.
My specific approach is to first help you reduce any difficult symptoms and then support you to build resilience in your life and relationships. I draw upon a range of evidence-based therapies, psychological theories, and psychological skills to tailor the support to meet your needs - these approaches include:
- Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR),
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT),
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT),
- Mindfulness
- And, Psychodynamic and Attachment focused practices.
Online work is effective and convenient. I am well practised in attuning to clients’ needs and work confidentially with warmth, compassion, and resilience. I have a small number of face to face appointments in the LU6 postcode.

My first session
Which psychotherapy approach is right for you?
Therapy is essentially a private and confidential space to explore difficult experiences or emotions and find ways to reduce the negative impact of these in your life. Identifying the most appropriate approach to take is a key aim of the first appointment.
We will talk about the range of psychotherapy approaches, but the starting point will always be to explore how you see the problem, its impact on you and your life, and what changes you would like to experience.
There is usually time in the first appointment to practice a few helpful strategies so that you feel more at ease.
The session is 50 minutes and there will be time to get an idea of whether you feel you can work with me on a regular basis.

Abuse, Anger management, Anxiety, Bereavement, Cultural issues, Depression, Disability, Health related issues, Identity issues, Loss, Personal development, Phobias, Post-traumatic stress, Redundancy, Relationships, Self esteem, Self-harm, Stress, Trauma, Work related issues
