About me
I am a BACP-accredited integrative psychotherapist, EMDR Consultant, and supervisor based in Romsey, Hampshire. With a background working with children, adolescents, and young people in school and college settings, I also bring extensive experience supporting adults in workplace environments and private practice.
My therapeutic work covers a wide range of presentations, including stress, depression, anxiety, self-esteem and confidence, self-harm, and pregnancy-related issues. As an EMDR Europe Accredited Consultant, I specialise in working with clients experiencing PTSD and CPTSD and long-term conditions using EMDR therapy.
I provide long and short-term therapy as well as intensive EMDR Therapy depending on the presenting issue.

I also offer intensive EMDR therapy sessions. Do get in touch if you are interested in iEMDR.
Member organisations
school 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 leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Short-term counselling
No matter how long we engage in the counselling process, the most important thing is that we are being listened to effectively by a counsellor who displays warmth, empathy, non-judgement and who regards us positively.
Short-term counselling is useful for specific issues that need some resolution and usually lasts for 6 -12 sessions. Examples include panic attacks, general anxiety, confidence issues, and other more specific issues that can be addressed in a more solution-focused way. Examples of approaches I use to help clients are: CBT, TfCBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and EMDR therapy.
Trauma and PTSD
I am able to offer EMDR therapy to treat trauma. EMDR is a very effective approach to treating trauma through using eye movements and other forms of bifocal stimulation to help the client access and reprocess difficult memories which often drive low mood and anxiety. Examples of traumatic issues I have worked with include, school bullying, sexual trauma (assault ), bereavement trauma; historic abuse, phobias, road traffic accidents, domestic violence, ME, CFS and Fibromyalgia.
Long Term Therapy
Long Term therapy is useful for more complex issues, like depression, abuse and eating disorders, as often the emotions associated with these behaviours stem from deep seated difficulties in our past. A longer exploration time is needed therefore to unravel the causes of these feelings and behaviours. Examples of approaches needed for deeper exploration include Person-Centred Therapy, the Psychodynamic approach, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and EMDR therapy.
