Each one of us, at certain points in our lives will experience a struggle which cannot be overcome alone. I offer a safe, confidential and caring space to explore your feelings and issues without judgement.

Therapy will help you to gain self awareness and insight into your relationships for life. It is an opportunity to make a permanent change.  EMDR is also part of a way of processing any trauma and I include that in sessions where appropriate. 

For almost 20 years I have helped people with issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, bereavement, stress and relationships. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches allowing me to work with your unique and individual experiences.

In the way I work, I help to "unpack" your issues and helping you make sense of your experiences. I am engaging and I believe I am not the expert in your life but I can provide expertise. 

 I specialise in trauma and use EMDR to help process this. EMDR can also help with phobias and I have found that most of my client have benefitted form trying this approach where appropriate. 

I work in person and online. 

I usually have an inital assessment which lasts a full hour whereby we discuss your issues, your therapy goals and what you would like to work on. It is an opportunity to ask me any questions and where I explain how I work, more about my therapeutic approach and of course EMDR.

The therapy relationship being a safe and comfortable one is the most important part of any therapy working so we woudl both decide if we move forward in booking regular weekly sessions. 

Having the right clinical supervision is vital for all therapists. We need it as part of our ethical right to practice and our personal and professional development. I recognise that this relationship is just as important as the ones we have with our clients. I have supervised both qualified and trainee psychotherapists and counsellors for over 12 years. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and experience with others, as well as learning from my “supervisees” while they grow as therapists themselves

My approaches are mainly humanistic, i.e. existential, person-centred and psychodynamic – working predominantly with transference. I am able to supervise those who work short term and long term.
