EMDR Therapy is an effective and well researched therapy originally developed for the treatment of PTSD and after effects of severe trauma. EMDR Therapy does not require you to discuss your trauma in detail and bilateral stimulation is only part of the process. EMDR Therapy is a comprehensive therapeutic approach with principles, protocols and procedures with the goal of reducing distress in the shortest period of time. As well as trauma EMDR Therapy is also successful in effectively treating anxiety, depression, avoidance, phobias and panic.
My practice is monitored by qualified supervisors and is bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and the ACTO Code of Ethics. I am also listed on the BACP Professional Standards Authority accredited register. I hold both DBS and ICO certificates.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.

BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
