About me
Based in Irthlingborough near to major road links, I am an accredited member of the Human Givens Institute and an accredited supervisor. I offer brief, solution-focused therapy for a range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger, stress, behaviour, trauma and phobias including PTSD, OCD, panic attacks, eating disorders and childhood issues.
I work with neurotypical and neurodiverse children, young adults and adults to find out what's behind the current challenge and agree a goal and strategy for positive and permanent change. I use hypnotherapy when appropriate to address fears and traumas which are holding you back in your current life, as well as using it to build confidence and reinforce the resources you already have. I work with whatever media is appropriate for you including drawing, play-doh and clay modelling, physical movement and many other creative methods.
I am available in the daytime and some evenings.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an accredited Human Givens Practitioner and Supervisor and can be found on their Register of Therapists.
I am trained in trauma resolution techniques for all levels of distressing experiences, including PTSD and work as a psychotherapist for the PTSD Resolution armed forces charity. I also work as a counsellor and psychotherapist for Headway (the brain injury trust) and Action for Neurodiversity working with individuals with neurodiversities or their families. I am also a supervisor of other counsellors at the charity. Since July 2025 I have worked as a psychotherapist for Bigmoose, which is a charity offering brief, solution-focussed therapy.
I have also undertaken further training with the Foundation for Infant Loss to support families at times when a pregnancy ends before term, or with the loss of a baby during birthing or in their early life.
I like to be creative in therapy when appropriate, but will always work with what my clients are most comfortable with and progress at their pace.
