Personalised therapy for you
Can therapy help me?
Feelings
Ever notice that knot in your stomach? Get hot and sweaty, and feel as though your heart is racing? Don't feel like you can take a full breath?
Behaviour
Do you avoid things? Ever feel like you'd live your life differently if you felt differently? Noticed any unhelpful patterns playing out time and time again?
Thoughts
Do you notice that your thoughts are often negative, focus on the worst case scenario, or take you away from the present?
Emotions
Do you believe other people find it easier to manage their emotions than you do?
If you have felt any of the above then you are not alone. Approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. Therapeutic interventions are recommended in national guidelines and by worldwide health organisations as one of the recommended treatments of choice for many such disorders.

Me and my ethos
I am accredited with the BABCP, EABCT, EMDR UK, and EMDR Europe. This offers you some assurances around the quality of my training and practice as every year I am asked to provide information on my continuing professional development, knowledge of current research, and best practice in therapeutic treatment and supervision.
I don't believe that any therapist can be your 'magic pill', but I do believe that with the right therapist and the right therapeutic approach, you have the ability to learn about your psychological patterns, process painful memories, and learn skills and techniques to help you move forward.
I have been working in the psychological domain since 2006 with both children and adults. Working in various settings (with profound and multiple learning disabilities, offending behaviour, violence and anger, brain injury and neurological rehabilitation, and in primary and secondary mental health care, including IAPT and critical crisis care) I have gathered a breadth and depth of knowledge and practice-based evidence that helps me adapt therapy to the individual in front of me.
My therapeutic approach draws mainly on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
As a scientist-practitioner I often begin therapy by explaining the biology that drives our emotions and physiological reactions. This will allow you to develop practical skills you can use to regain control over your emotions. We will then go on to draw upon a range of approaches to formulate and address individual difficulties.
I can help you with:
Depression
Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Social Anxiety
Phobias
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Perinatal Depression and bonding difficulties (Moms and Dads)
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Low self-esteem
Anger
Life transitions
Sleep difficulties
Pain management
Relationship difficulties

After an initial phase 1 formulation session, each partner has one 1:1 session with myself to discuss their history and difficulties. Sessions are then conducted together and will focus on understanding the relationship dynamics and patterns. Each session you will be given tasks to practice together at home with the aim of rebuilding a stronger, empathic relationship.
Conflict resolution & Mediation

1:1 sessions focusing on learning the skills required to address and resolve conflict are available. Alternatively, you may be in need of a mediator in order to manage the dynamics and progress to a resolution. Enquire for more information and pricing.

Enter into a safe space to discuss clinical cases.
