About me

A warm welcome to you. 

I am an accredited Psychotherapist offering:

  • Psychotherapy/counselling
  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR)
  • Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to adults.

I offer online sessions, and I welcome referrals throughout the United Kingdom, and over sea's within a number of countries.

I am an integrative therapist, with the foundation of my therapeutic approach being Person-Centered. This means that creating an environment that places emphasis on and building both trust and security, without judgement, will form the basis for our work together.

My commitment to training means that I engage in continuous study. I believe that the more knowledge I have, the greater my ability to understand and support a diverse client base. I hold particular interest in the areas below:

Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse

I hold a Masters Degree in domestic violence and sexual abuse. I work sensitively with those who have experienced dysfunctional family and intimate relationships, early and/or complex trauma. 

Early Trauma, Traumatic Events, Flashbacks and Post Traumatic Stress

I hold a particular interest in supporting the effects of early trauma and/or traumatic experiences, complex- Post Traumatic Stress, Post Traumatic Stress and/or flashbacks. 

Bereavement, Grief and Loss

I have spent a number of years within a hospice offering psychological support to adults, children and young people who were experiencing death, dying, bereavement and loss of a loved one. Continuing to support people whom have experienced the death of a loved one, or people who have been given an end of life diagnosis remains a fundamental part of my practice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I receive regular clinical supervision to ensure that I remain ethical in my approach and to ensure that I am able to best support those who work with me. I am DBS checked and insured.

Please don't hesitate to contact me, should you have any questions, I will be glad to help, thank you.
