Clients do not all fit into one particular way of working, they are all unique. I therefore tailor the work to suit your requirements and your situation. In our first meetings we spend time assessing your needs and deciding the best way forward. I aim to provide a safe space where we can work together and address your issues within a warm, confidential working relationship.

I was initially trained in Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural and Psychodynamic theories (Integrative) and then completed a Masters Degree in Integrative Psychotherapy in 2011. I am now also an EMDR Therapist working towards accreditation with EMDR UK and Ireland (https://emdrassociation.org.uk) and have just completed training in Attachment Informed EMDR. This is an approach recommended by NICE and is particularly suited to working with current or historic trauma as well as being helpful for those with issues arising from disrupted attachment during childhood, perhaps through separation, bereavement, neglect, etc. It is worth noting that EMDR is an 8 phase protocol including thorough history taking and personal resource building. 

I practice one day per week in-Person from Orchard Barn Health at Stallingborough, which is within easy reach of Grimsby, Louth, Hull, Beverley, Scunthorpe and surrounding villages. I also practice from Louth, in an intriguing and magical setting at "The Leaf Retreat"

I am fully insured, on the BACP Register, Accredited with the BACP which means I have to attain high professional standards, and hold a current Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service Certificate (May 2019)

There are many reasons why people come for counselling. Some people come because they are experiencing feelings of depression and / or generalised anxiety, or because they have been bereaved or traumatised. Sometime people's suffering is harder to identify : they may experience unexplained bodily symptoms, nightmares, panic attacks, unwanted thoughts or intrusive images. Occasionally past memories and experiences can remain unresolved and might cause difficulties in current relationships: there might be difficulties at work or within the family; or concerns related to feelings of hurt or rejection and lack of confidence. Through exploring your full history, and your comprehensive commitment between sessions we can work through issues from the past and in the present thoroughly and effectively utilising Integrative theory and EMDR, building a working relationship of trust and commitment.
