About me
I am an IFS informed EMDR Association UK registered EMDR therapist with 27 years of clinical experience working with a range of clients presenting with mental health needs.
I am also an HCPC registered Art Psychotherapist, and a qualified UKCP registered clinical supervisor. I also offer talking Psychotherapy.
How can I help?
I use a person centred approach to develop a therapeutic relationship with my clients. This helps over time to support you in gaining insight and understanding of the emotional and mental difficulties you're currently experiencing.
I provide a safe space to listen to you and together we can assess and identify the best therapeutic approach to meet your needs.
I offer both face to face and online therapy sessions. I am available to work with both children and adults.
I currently have a waiting list for new clients but please do get in touch if you would like to make a general enquiry or have any questions you would like to ask me, as I am here to help. My website is also available for you to browse.

Further information
I work in a spacious, private and peaceful room with my clients, equipped with a large table to make art if required. There is also a range of soft furniture to use and relax in.
Our initial sessions together will focus on developing a treatment plan to suit your needs, alongside the development of our therapeutic relationship, which is crucial to the work.
