About me
I am a Psychological Therapist specialising in trauma-informed, nervous system-based therapy, integrating EMDR, CBT and Polyvagal-Informed approaches to support deep healing and lasting change. I have over 19 years of clinical experience in both the public and private sectors. While trauma is a key area of expertise, I work with all common mental health concerns, recognising that many symptoms are rooted in early experiences, stress, and trauma. I take a neurobiological approach to healing, integrating the brain, body, and the soul, to help clients make sense of their nervous system responses.
In addition to traditional Psychological Therapy, I am also a Neuro-Spiritual Framework™ (NSF) Practitioner. NSF is a therapeutic-coaching framework for deep nervous system healing and conscious transformation. I developed NSF through combining my lived experience, therapeutic practice, and spiritual growth. This approach incorporates my clinical experience of psychological interventions, my expertise in the neurobiology of trauma, and my knowledge and practice of spirituality, creating a completely unique approach.
Specialisms: Polyvagal Informed Therapy, EMDR Therapy, EMDR for chronic/persistent pain, Polyvagal Informed EMDR, Trauma-Informed Therapy, Cognitive & Behavioural Psychotherapy.
Special Interests: Jungian-informed approaches, Metaphysics, cognitive neuroscience of trauma, meditation, the fundamental laws of the universe, the neuroscience of spirituality, manifestation, & visualisation.
At the heart of my practice is the belief that healing happens in connection. Therapy is about feeling seen, heard, and understood. Healing begins with the simple yet profound act of being met with compassion.
Please visit my website to learn more about me and all of the services I provide. I offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation to briefly discuss suitability for treatment and allow you the opportunity to ask me any questions you may have. Embarking on therapy or coaching, especially for the first time, can certainly be a daunting process. Finding the right therapist is very important. Having a chat over the phone offers you the chance to get a feel for me and my approach, so you can feel more at ease with the process before starting therapy. I look forward to hearing from you.
