About Me

Are you looking for an experienced, well-qualified therapist to help you unravel your life?

Well, maybe you don’t need to unravel your life! … but you’d like possibly to get to grips with a problem that you’re experiencing that’s causing you stress, worry and anxiety.

It’s not always momentous life events that bring you the most struggle, but often aspects of simple everyday life.

Maybe your own story is something you haven’t spoken about, or it might be that you have … but you feel like you’ve been going round in circles. Either way, problems left undealt with can sometimes slowly get worse, which could be what you’re experiencing.

Maybe you just know that it’s time for you to share your difficulty or pain. If it is … then I’d really like to help you find a way to peace, and understanding within yourself.

You may well only need a few sessions to get things clear in your mind, so it doesn’t have to be a massive commitment. Of course, if you find that you’re getting a great deal of value from us working together then we can simply keep going, with some plans in place so we both know what you’re looking to achieve.

You can get started as soon as you like, simply by getting in touch with me. It's quickest to call my mobile on 07949 392248. As long as I'm not with a client, and it’s a decent hour, I’ll pick up.

I work with EAP's and hold registration with Aviva, AXA PPP, Vitality Health, and Aetna Gobal for insurance purposes. I am DBS checked.

Call me today on 07949 392248, so we can get started, and get you living life again the way you want to.

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’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapist with a specialist interest in anger and emotion. My doctoral research focused specifically on the lived experience of anger, and I’ve helped many people understand and manage their anger in healthier, more constructive ways. Whether your anger feels overwhelming, hard to express, or is affecting your relationships and wellbeing, I offer a safe, non-judgemental space to explore what’s really going on beneath the surface. My approach combines psychological insight with practical tools, helping you regain a sense of calm, clarity, and control.
I’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience helping people overcome anxiety and find more ease in their daily lives. Anxiety can show up in many forms—constant worry, racing thoughts, panic attacks, or a general sense of unease—and it can be exhausting. I offer a calm, supportive space to explore what’s driving your anxiety, and use proven approaches such as EMDR and mindfulness-based therapy to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control. My aim is to help you understand your anxiety, not just manage it, so you can move forward with greater freedom and peace of mind.
I’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience, and I’ve supported thousands of clients in finding relief from the effects of trauma and PTSD. I specialise in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a proven therapy for helping people process traumatic memories and feel more in control of their lives. I work primarily online, using a secure platform called Bilateral Base that’s designed especially for EMDR therapy. If you’re living with symptoms of PTSD—such as flashbacks, anxiety, or feeling constantly on edge—EMDR can help you make sense of what’s happened and begin to feel safe again. My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and focused on helping you feel supported every step of the way.
I’m a UKCP-registered psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience, and I’ve had the privilege of working with thousands of clients over the years. I specialise in helping people heal from trauma using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a powerful and well-researched therapy approach. I work mainly online using a secure platform called Bilateral Base, which is specially designed for EMDR sessions. Whether you’re dealing with the effects of past trauma, recent distressing events, or long-standing emotional difficulties, EMDR can help you process and move forward. My approach is warm, supportive, and grounded in years of clinical experience—I aim to create a safe space where real change can happen.
