About me
I am an Accredited EMDR Practitioner, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and Clinical Supervisor, with over 20 years of experience working in mental health.
I specialise in trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), including complex and longstanding difficulties. I also have extensive experience supporting people experiencing depression, anxiety, panic, low self-esteem, worry and other emotional difficulties.
My approach goes beyond simply managing symptoms. I work collaboratively with you to understand the experiences, patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to how you feel today. Where appropriate, we can work towards processing difficult or traumatic experiences, reducing their emotional impact and helping you move forward.
Alongside EMDR and CBT, I draw upon Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and mindfulness-based approaches. This allows me to tailor therapy to you as an individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
I have a particular interest in trauma, identity and the impact that our life experiences, relationships and cultural backgrounds can have on our emotional wellbeing. I also have experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and understand how experiences of culture, identity, racism, discrimination and belonging can intersect with mental health and trauma.
I aim to provide a therapeutic space that is warm, collaborative and non-judgemental, where you can feel understood while also being supported to make meaningful changes.
Whether you are struggling with the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, or experiences from your past that continue to affect your life today, my aim is not only to help you feel better, but to help you understand what has happened, process difficult experiences safely, and develop the skills and confidence to move forward.
