About me and my therapy practice
Trauma leaves us feeling in pain and disconnected from our true selves. You may be exhausted by feeling triggered in everyday situations, isolated from friends and family who can’t understand, or struggling to make sense of what happened to you. You may not even remember a time you didn’t feel like this. It is fantastic that you're here now because you’ve decided you deserve more and are ready to feel different. Most of all you’re ready to leave the past in the past, change old patterns that no longer serve you, and step into a hopeful future on your own terms.
Practice description
I am a highly qualified Psychologist, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and EMDR Therapist. I specialise in working with adults who are struggling with PTSD, complex trauma or any past experience big or small which is stopping you from fully enjoying life in the present. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who will work gently to give them time to tell their story, because therapy should be a place where you feel truly listened to and valued as the worthwhile and important person that you are.
How I work
I work online, meaning that I can work with you from wherever you are in the UK. Sessions are weekly, and I will reserve a regular time to see you each week.
My fees
My fee is £120, paid by bank transfer. I offer a free 30 minute initial meeting over zoom so that you can tell me a little about yourself and get a sense of my approach.
Insurance
I am registered with the following insurance companies: Bupa, WPA, Aviva, AXA, and Vitality.
My first session
I’ll meet you exactly where you are, and offer you the support you need to find strength you never knew you had. A life where more ease and self-acceptance is possible than you've ever imagined. You don’t have to be a prisoner of your past, and you don’t have to do it alone. Contact me to arrange a free-of-charge initial meeting over Zoom - I look forward to hearing from you.
