About me
I’m an EMDR Europe-accredited counselling psychologist (HCPC) and UKCP Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist. I offer paced EMDR and trauma therapy for adults — based in Enfield and London, and online by video across the UK.
Who this helps
• Flashbacks, intrusive images, or body sensations that keep returning
• Stuck trauma memories that still shape how you feel day to day
• PTSD or complex PTSD
• Childhood or relational trauma that still echoes in the present
Sessions are careful and collaborative. We settle first, then work at a pace that feels manageable — often with EMDR, and sometimes with integrative approaches (including Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy) when that fits better.
Fees: £100 for 60 minutes; £150 for extended 90-minute EMDR. Recognised insurers include AXA Health, Aviva and Vitality. A one-off 90-minute trauma-focused EMDR appointment is also available if you’d like a contained first step.

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.

As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
