My Approach

My approach integrates relational models of psychotherapy with body orientated and mindfulness practice, and EMDR.
My work is informed by understanding and experience of both psychodynamic and humanistic models of psychotherapy, and I am interested in and work with the intersubjective aspect of the psychotherapeutic relationship.

About Me

I am an experienced UKCP accredited Psychotherapist and EMDR therapist, with over 20 years of working in private practice.
I have a background of working in mental health in the NHS within Arts Psychotherapies as a Dance Movement therapist, where I worked with people experiencing acute and ongoing mental health problems in both in-patient and community settings (London based). I have also worked in the voluntary sector at HELP Counselling Service (Trowbridge).

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 offer a space to talk freely (perhaps for the first time) and to explore what is concerning or distressing you. It may be that words aren't enough or fail to express adequately? I might invite awareness to how stress and anxiety are experienced and felt in the body; working with breath, movement, and (with negotiation), physical holding can be helpful to deepen awareness whilst also offering a sense of safety, ground and containment to distress.
I offer an empathic and steady presence to sit with depression and explore what may be underlying; feelings of hopelessness, experiences of loss, unexpressed anger or grief, feeling stuck, useless, low self esteem or low self image, feeling helpless. Sometimes working through the body, or being held in a space to rest and quieten can allow feelings to emerge and be understood.
I offer EMDR within longer term psychotherapy where you have experienced abuse or emotional neglect within childhood, adolescence or in adult relationships and where the impact of this continues to affect you in your life now. I am experienced in working with complex or attachment based trauma. I offer shorter term EMDR work (usually at least 8 sessions) where there has been a singular traumatic incident which has resulted in symptoms of post traumatic stress (or PTSD). Whether short term EMDR work is the way forward would be assessed during the initial consultation.
I am experienced in working with the impact of Sexual Abuse, where I draw upon EMDR.
I am an EMDR therapist and experienced in working with the impact of childhood trauma. I very often combine EMDR into longer term relational psychotherapy. I offer shorter term EMDR (at least 6 weeks) where there has been a single traumatic incident which has resulted in symptoms of post traumatic stress. The suitability of short term or longer term work would be assessed in initial consultation.
