Hello, I have over thirty years of experience as a child and adult psychotherapist. I have a great deal of experience working therapeutically with various issues where therapy may be beneficial. Alongside this, I also specialise in working with developmental trauma, complex trauma and dissociation. Alongside this work,

My core therapeutic modality is Integrative therapy. My aim is to ensure that I can help you as a client to work in a way that feels most comfortable to you. I use a range of techniques, from talking therapy to creative modalities. I also work connecting and supporting the body and felt experiences such as anxiety, fear and physical pain.

In 2001, I started a Therapy Centre in Northampton called Broad Horizons, and I practice at the centre for part of my week. I teach counselling to adult and child counsellors and spent many years as a Senior Lecturer in Counselling at master’s level. I am very down-to-earth and welcoming by nature, and my ADHD, Neurodivergent brain, helps me remain creative and diverse in my approaches! I am passionate about ensuring people in therapy feel supported both in and out of the therapy space. When working with children and young people, as well as direct therapy, I work closely with the network around the child to ensure a joined-up and consistent package of support.

In my private practice, I work online only, with a range of issues and specialise in working with complex developmental and relational trauma for children and young people. This work includes PTSD, C-PTSD dissociation and adaptive attachments in children and families. However, this is by no means exclusive, and referrals for adults or children are very welcome.

I research, teach and publish in the field of counselling nationally and internationally and am Secretary of the European Society for Trauma and Dissociation

It is important that you find someone you are comfortable working with, so the first step would be to have an informal, confidential chat. We can talk through the prospect of working together without any obligation for you to do so.
