My Approach

I integrate clinical understandings and processes from relational, cognitive and behavioural perspectives in order to address the client's need as fully as possible. Where appropriate, I incorporate EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Attachment and Ego State therapy in addition to my basic Relational approach.

About Me

I am an Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist with 25 years experience. My specialist area of work is with people who have experienced challenging life events and /or developmental trauma including social or attachment issues. I have worked in a range of therapeutic settings settings including education, the NHS and privately. I work from a relational and attachment perspective.
I am a retired Europe accredited EMDR Consultant/Supervisor. EMDR is a treatment of choice for PTSD and is recommended by the National Institute for Clinical Health and Excellence. In my past I was a psychiatric nurse, and health visitor and practice nurse. I also was Director of Counselling Development for an Accreditation Organisation and was involved in the development of the Open University Foundation in Counselling Course. I became an EMDR Consultant in 2018. I maintain high level of Professional Development and Supervision.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I have experience and training in working with clients who are experiencing physical and psychological issues relating to ageing and or simply a change in ability and willingness to engage socially.
Anxiety can present at any stage in life and can be limiting socially. Clients experiencing anxiety are invited to explore their thoughts, behaviours and feelings and ultimately find ways to reduce the sensations associated with their anxiety. In the process clients can begin to understand the origin of their anxiety. Anxiety is often related to uncomfortable experiences and possibly traumatic memories that have never been spoke of or processed. These will be addressed and strategies introduced to heal the traumas and reduce the unwellcomed and inappropriate responses to difficult memories. EMDR and the Flash Technique are effective interventions used to help with anxiety.
The feeling of separation from the world and the absence of emotion are symptoms of depression. These can be so severe that self destructive thoughts and ideas can become overwhelming. This can change. You do not have to feel this bad. Strategies are available to help you understand why you feel this way and will help you to feel differently.
EMDR is a well established psychotherapy that works by enabling the safe exploration of memories that are painful. These memories may originate at any stage in the client's life from infancy through to adulthood. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to facilitate changes in the way the client's experiences are perceived. I have been using EMDR successfully since 2004. It is approved by NICE and the WHO for the safe and effective treatment of PTSD.
We are social animals and therefore relationships constitute the way in which we connect with others. However, our relationships with family and friends and work colleagues can be difficult at times. It is helpful to discuss the discomfort and concerns arising from these connections to enable change and improvements which lead to happier and more healthy way of connecting. This is particularly important in couples and families where a breakdown in relating can be devastating of all concerned.
