About me

I specialise in Eye-Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I am an accredited EMDR therapist which means that I have completed over 300 hours of EMDR therapy and been signed off to say that I am doing EMDR in the correct way. If you would like to do EMDR please ensure you use an accredited EMDR therapist to ensure that it is of a high quality. I am also CBT accredited.

I specialise in trauma treatment, PTSD, Depression, Worries, Phobias, OCD, Panic, Couples counselling and many other disorders. 

​I am available for online therapy to anyone in the UK.

Training, qualifications & experience

I initially trained as a counsellor, I then specialised in CBT therapy and in the last 4 years I have been practicing as an accredited EMDR therapist. I have over 10 years of experience working for the NHS and have treated over 1000 patients with various mental health disorders. I am aware that quality therapy can be hard to find which is why I am passionate about giving patients a positive experience of therapy. I achieve this by helping them understand WHY the problem has occurred and guiding them to make changes that will fix the problem long term. I love telling stories and analogies which help people to remember the lessons learned along the way. This approach has been extremely successful in helping my patients rediscover their ideal self.
