My Approach

I always begin with an assessment. The initial phone session is free of charge and aims to establish if working with me can best meet your needs. I use an Integrative approach which enables my clients to have a therapy which meets their needs specifically, and I might use a variety of approaches. As a qualified EMDR Practitioner I can work with clients who are experiencing PTSD. I also use EMDR to assist with pain management, depression, anxiety, anger, OCD. I have completed training courses in ADHD and ASD, and am skilled in working with clients who have this diagnosis. I have also completed training courses in IFS and add this to my trauma practice.

About Me

I am an experienced Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist with extensive experience in NHS as a Consultant Clinician and Service Manager. I am trained a a number of therapy approaches including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing (EMDR), Critical Incident Debriefing (CISD), Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (D.I.T), Solution Focused Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy (IPT).I am also trained in Executive Coaching and Mentoring, and Life Coaching.
I have trained in multiple approaches because I believe that the therapy approach that I use should meet the need of my client.
I also offer groups for people who have experienced a relationship break-up. Confidentiality is the cornerstone of my work and I am clear at the beginning of my work about the way that I work and how therapy can meet the goals of my clients. I have an MSc in Occupational Psychology and am working towards Chartership. I work with Organisations and Managers to help them support the mental health and wellbeing of their staff. This includes change management and leadership development. I use a variety of platforms including Zoom and telephone and Face to Face.
I apply my personal values in the way that I work which includes integrity, understanding,honesty, acceptance and clear boundaries.
