About me
I am a Creative Psychotherapist with a broad range of experiences and therapeutic tools to draw from, depending on the needs of the client. I work both online and face to face.
I am a Psychotherapist working with children and adults with a range of complex challenges, to do this I use a number of modalities including, dramatherapy, psychoeducation, talking therapy and EMDR. My role as a therapist is to enable the people, I am working with to realise that they are the expert in their own situation, and that using our skills together they are able to develop a way forward.
I have been offering psychoeducation sessions since January 2020. These are blocks of 4 (£200) and focus on the psychology of meltdowns, or 'flipping the lid'. triggers, de-escalation and coping strategies. These psychoeducation blocks can be themed depending on the needs of the client/child/family.
Dramatherapy offers an alternative route to psychological support. I am able to suggest creative interventions, to support the safe understanding and exploration of a client's needs.
EMDR sessions can be face to face or online. EMDR can be helpful for trauma, anxiety, grief, addiction and other complex mental health life and mental health challenges.
A combination of the above tools can be used to create a bespoke therapy process, depending on the client and their needs.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Masters in Dramatherapy – Creative Arts Psychotherapy (Merit) – with 7 years’ post qualification experience as a Dramatherapist in several diverse clinical settings. I am a registered Dramatherapist with the HCPC and with the British Association of Dramatherapists (BADth).
I am an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist working face to face, or online. EMDR can be utilised with both adult and child clients with a range of mental health challenges and diagnoses. I am registered with the EMDR Association and receive the relevant supervision. I am currently unable to take on any EMDR clients.
I engage in regular CPD specific to my modality and client groups I am working with to maintain not only professional registrations, but also my own high expectations of my professional performance, knowledge and understanding.
I have significant experience of working with both children and adults, within the NHS, schools, NGO and within my own private practice.
I have extensive experience of working with children and adults with neurodiversity.
I am specifically interested how early trauma can affect child and adult development. In my practice I have conducted research on the effects of abuse in Erikson’s Psychosocial stages of child development on subsequent adult pathologies.
I have recent training on safeguarding, working therapeutically - online, supporting autistic clients and attachment theory.
