About me
I am a Psychotherapist and Counsellor with 15 years experience, offering 1-1 and couples therapy. I am trained in EMDR, Mindfulness, Trauma-Focused CBT. I also teach at the University of Oxford, offer mental health consultancy to organisations, and regularly appear in media outlets to provide expert input in mental health related pieces. I am also a Clinical Supervisor and supervise the work of other psychotherapists.
I offer both short-term and long-term therapy, in-person or online. I am fluent in French and can offer sessions in this language.
I have supported 1000s of clients to tackle issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, work stress, substance misuse, fertility/infertility, parenting difficulties, trauma amongst others.
My approach is integrative, which means that I can use different theories to best meet my clients needs. I work out of a quiet, spacious and sun-filled room in central Reading, easy to access from Reading but also Henley, Marlow, Maidenhead, Didcot, Twyford, Newbury, Wallingford. I also work online, and offer 30 min introductory sessions. I love my work and honestly believe therapy can be life-changing. I hope to hear from you.
