About me
I am an accredited chartered Doctor of Counselling Psychology with more than 18 years of experience working in private and public sectors in the UK and Europe. I tend to work with people from all walks of life, so my approach is tailor-made to suit individual needs. My method consists of neuroscience-led techniques, such as EMDR, DBR, IFS, and CCTP, to work with PTSD, complex trauma and early attachment trauma. I also use analytical approaches such as Existential analysis, Psychoanalysis, and Phenomenology.
