I’m an integrative psychotherapist and EMDR therapist with over 20 years of experience working with children, young people, and adults. I offer a warm, relational, and creative approach, adapting how I work to meet the unique needs of each individual or family I support.
I provide a safe and compassionate space for those navigating challenges such as trauma, loss, anxiety, and relationship difficulties.
I began my career working in therapeutic communities, supporting children and families affected by attachment disruption, relational trauma, and loss. Since then, I’ve continued to work across a range of settings and remain deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), Trauma and loss.
Over the years, I’ve completed extensive additional training, including:
• Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP)
• Theraplay with parent and child
• EMDR therapy
EMDR can be effective for both complex developmental trauma and single-incident traumatic experiences, such as accidents, assaults, or medical procedures.
My approach is relational, integrative, and flexible, always shaped around the individual needs, strengths, and preferences of the people I work with.
I use a range of creative mediums—such as play, art, and nature-based approaches—to support expression and emotional processing, particularly when words are hard to find. At the same time, I’m equally comfortable offering a more talking-based therapy for those who prefer a reflective, verbal space.
I focus on building trust, fostering emotional safety, and supporting each person’s journey at their own pace.
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.
