About me
Anxiety, depression, chronic illness, bereavement, EMDR (adults and children) and relationship issues (couples counselling). EMDR for bereavement including using Dr Botkin's IADC (induced after-death communication). If you are feeling anxious, depressed or finding it difficult to make social contact, there is no time like the present to think about the changes you could make. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can work on understanding the situation you are in and how to make changes in your life. My aim is to help you unravel issues, relationships and thoughts you may be struggling with. I have experience working in the NHS, schools and charities which provides me with an extensive range of understanding of mental health issues and the importance of accessing therapy as soon as possible.
I work mainly in an existential and phenomenological way but also use other main therapeutic approaches. I offer a confidential service and am able to work with people of all ages. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents (in different settings including in school) over a 16-year period. This includes children with special needs (ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Low esteem, self-harming etc), trauma, anxiety and bereavement. EMDR is offered for both adults and children (face2face/online).
I also work with individuals and families and have experience working in various settings including schools, hospitals, and charitable and private settings. I address many issues including depression, anxiety, bereavement, social phobia, panic disorder, anger, self-harming and self-esteem issues.
CBT including Mindfulness: I have used these techniques effectively with children, adults and groups.
Parenting issues: I have worked effectively with individuals, families and groups (including workshops in school).

Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.

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.
