About me
I am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist, EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner and Clinical Supervisor with over 20 years' experience working within NHS psychological services alongside my private practice.
I work with adults experiencing trauma, PTSD and complex PTSD, anxiety, OCD, depression, low self-esteem, attachment and relationship difficulties, stress and burnout. I also have an interest in perinatal mental health, including birth trauma and the transition to parenthood.
I work integratively, tailoring therapy to each person's individual needs rather than using one therapeutic approach for everyone. Together, we will develop an understanding of how your life experiences, relationships and past events may have shaped the difficulties you're experiencing today, and use that understanding to guide therapy.
Where appropriate, I integrate EMDR alongside other trauma-informed approaches. My aim is to offer a compassionate, collaborative and psychologically safe space where we can work towards meaningful and lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
Alongside therapy, I also offer reflective clinical supervision for counsellors, psychotherapists and EMDR therapists.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Counselling and Psychotherapy and am a BACP Accredited Psychotherapist. I am an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner registered with the EMDR Association UK. Alongside my private practice, I work as a Band 8a EMDR Therapist within an NHS Perinatal Mental Health Service in Cambridgeshire. My clinical experience spans over 20 years across NHS psychological services, with extensive experience working with trauma, PTSD and complex PTSD, attachment difficulties, dissociation, OCD, anxiety and depression.
I have also completed an Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision and offer supervision for qualified and trainee counsellors and psychotherapists, as well as EMDR clinical supervision as part of my EMDR Consultant accreditation pathway.
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.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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).
