Expert Support for Life's Challenges

Hello and welcome. I am a UKCP registered Psychotherapist and have been in practice since 2012, I have clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and groups. As a senior university lecturer and supervising therapist, I am passionate about making the benefits of psychotherapy accessible to all.

My approach is integrative, drawing on trusted methods to help you understand how past experiences shape your present. Together, we can build a safe, trusting relationship that empowers you to understand yourself better and make more life-affirming choices. I am also a trauma-informed therapist and use specialised techniques like EMDR, which are highly effective for processing difficult memories, PTSD, and phobias.

How We Can Work Together in Therapy

I offer two distinct ways to access support.

Ongoing Therapy/ Time-Limited Therapy for Individuals and Couples

As a developmental relational psychotherapist, my core focus, whether in individual or couples work, is always the "here and now" relationship between us. I identify the client's (or couple's) relational scripts and unresolved developmental needs that manifest in the room. In time-limited sessions, we move quickly to map these patterns and facilitate a corrective emotional experience. In ongoing sessions, we use the safety of the consistent attachment to allow deeper, historical material to emerge, leading to profound repair and lasting change for the client as an individual or for the couple system.

Trauma-Specific Therapy

I offer an advanced and powerful treatment for overcoming the effects of trauma, PTSD, and other distressing life events. This therapy, based on proven Bi-Lateral Stimulation techniques like EMDR, is designed to help your brain process and heal from difficult memories quickly and effectively.

Many clients find significant and lasting relief from their symptoms in just 1-4 sessions.

This approach has proven highly effective for a wide range of issues stemming from difficult experiences, including:

Trauma & Abuse:

• Sexual or Physical Assault

• Child Abuse & Neglect

• Narcissistic Abuse

• Robbery or Mugging

• Traumatic Birth

Anxiety & Phobias:

• Generalised Anxiety Disorder

• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

• Phobias and Cravings

• Health Anxiety

• Insomnia

Difficult Emotions & Life Events:

• Overwhelming Anger, Rage, Guilt, or Shame

• Grief and Bereavement

• Relationship Breakups

• Postnatal Depression

• The emotional impact of bullying
