About me
I am an accredited UKCP Integrative Child Psychotherapist and EMDR therapist trained to work with adults, adolescences and children. I work in a compassionate, person centred and accepting way.
I provide specialist, trauma-informed support for children, young people, adults, families and schools. My work is informed by attachment-aware and neuro-affirming practice, neuroscience and psychodynamic theory.
I work in my private practice based at Hill View School, Martock, Yeovil (outside of school hours) or online.
I work in a diverse way depending on the individual's needs. I am trained to work with the arts and through play, including sand tray therapy, talking therapy or EMDR.
I see the purpose of psychotherapy and EMDR as being able to process the deeper root issue of what might be impacting an individual’s wellbeing and daily experiences including past trauma, adversity and abuse, anxieties, depression and relationship challenges.
