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). Also offered is Brainspotting and Flash. 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 your situation and how to make changes in your life. I aim to help you unravel issues, relationships and thoughts you may struggle 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 therapeutic approaches. I offer a confidential service and can 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 (face-to-face/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).

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.

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.

The UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
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).
