About me

I specialise in supporting clients who have experienced trauma, both single incident traumas and attachment or developmental trauma, alongside other difficulties such as (but not limited to) bereavement, thoughts of ending your life, self-harming thoughts, depression, other mental health and physical diagnoses, anxiety and depression.

Therapy is a vital part of emotional wellbeing, both at times of difficulty, and also as part of maintaining positive emotional health.

As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I incorporate Person Centred therapy, ai-EMDR, EMDR and Internal Family Systems therapy to support couples and individuals from the age of 18 onwards. My intention is work in an affirming way with people of all neurotypes, inclusive of people with neurodiversity diagnoses and those who self-identify.

The principles of different modalities guide me in working adaptively with empathy and compassion to support clients in processing experiences and finding ways of managing difficult and overwhelming feelings.

Training, qualifications & experience

Following the achievement of an Honours Degree in Pure and Applied Philosophy I completed Levels 1, 2 and 3 in Person Centred Counselling whilst experiencing first hand learning about motherhood, closely following this with a Post Graduate Certificate in Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy 2014 at the University of Cumbria.

I completed my EMDR Parts 1-3 in 2018 before leaving my role in the NHS in a Children and Young People’s Service. I continued EMDR training with EMDR and Ego States work, Level 1 EMDR for Children and Adolescents and more recently EMDR Unleashed 1 and 2 (Attachment Informed EMDR ai-EMDR) which has increased my passion for attachment informed EMDR which also allows us to work with Intergenerational Trauma and Dreams.

Further training has incorporated a Certificate in Couples and Relationship Counselling and my Post Graduate Certificate in Supervision, extending the services that I am able to offer. Level 1 and Level 2 Internal Family Systems training, both stands alone and beautifully informs ai EMDR work, and allows us to work with trauma in gentle and respectful ways.

My intention is to always work in a neuro-affirming way, and all clients who have a diagnosis of neurodiversity and or feel that they have traits and qualities that they would connect with neurodiversity are very welcome.

My previous experience since qualifying in 2014 was with CRUSE Bereavement Care, Cancer Help, Cancer Care, Primary and Further Education, the NHS and the Survivors Trust, which is where my interest in supporting people who have experienced trauma began to develop. I have worked in private practice for the past 6 years.

I am Enhanced DBS Checked, Vetted by Lancashire Constabulary as an Associate Therapist, and I offer sessions under the umbrella of Private Health Providers AXA and BUPA.
