When a crisis, loss or big transition happens, it can seem impossible to know how to find a way through. Sometimes we can find that we have veered off course in life, and have ended up caught in a cycle where we feel stuck, unfulfilled and trapped. Reaching out to ask for help can be daunting. But seeking help can be one of the most important actions we can take to improve our mental health.

In Psychological Therapy, we will explore what you are facing, get an understanding of your difficulties, identify what changes you would like to make, and come up with a plan, specific to your needs and wishes.

I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Person-Centred Therapy approaches. I also make use of mindfulness and compassion-focused techniques. I specialise in providing Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a powerful therapy for treating the effects of trauma.

My approach is customised to empower each individual client, supporting them to take control of their mental health and live a full and vital life.

EMDR

Sometimes, when traumatic events happen, memories get stored in the body as well as the mind. This can mean that the memories show up in distressing and intrusive ways, getting in the way of everyday life.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an innovative and evidence-based treatment for difficulties arising from traumatic events. This includes, but is not limited to, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Grief. EMDR can be highly effective for treating flashbacks, nightmares, and other long-term emotional effects of trauma and loss.

I am an Accredited Practitioner with EMDR Europe. The status Accredited Practitioner is awarded to therapists who have demonstrated a level of skill and experience in EMDR, and is a mark of trustworthiness and expertise in the approach.

When you make an initial enquiry, we can explore whether EMDR might be suitable for you.

Online Therapy

When searching for the right therapist, you don’t have to be restricted to who is available in your local area. Online therapy lets you access the best professional for you, regardless of location. Evidence shows that therapy delivered online, including EMDR, is as effective as therapy delivered face-to-face

I am proud to work with clients across the UK and beyond, conducting therapy exclusively online.

Online therapy allows you to fit your appointments around your other commitments. It also means you can go ahead with your appointment wherever you are, as long as you have access to an internet connection and a private space.
