About me
Trauma-focused psychotherapy and EMDR therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, overwhelm, and the lasting effects of difficult experiences.
About Me
I offer trauma-focused psychotherapy and EMDR therapy for adults, in-person in Twickenham and Richmond, and online across the UK.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in painful patterns, or affected by experiences that continue to shape how they feel, respond, and relate. Some may feel constantly on edge, disconnected, anxious, or unsure why certain situations feel so difficult.
I work with adults affected by trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, and the lasting impact of distressing or overwhelming experiences.
Therapy offers space to slow things down and begin making sense of what has happened. I aim to provide a steady, supportive, and trauma-informed space where difficult experiences can be explored safely, at a pace that feels manageable for you.
My approach is integrative, relational, and collaborative. I draw on different therapeutic approaches depending on your needs, including EMDR therapy where appropriate. Together, we think about what may be contributing to current difficulties, while building greater stability, understanding, and emotional resilience over time.
EMDR
EMDR forms an important part of my work with trauma and PTSD. EMDR can help process distressing memories and reduce the emotional impact they continue to hold in the present.
Following assessment, we identify areas of work collaboratively and ensure therapy feels safe, paced, and manageable throughout.
I also offer a limited number of focused EMDR spaces for single-incident trauma. Reduced-fee spaces may be available within this structured format as part of my continued professional development toward EMDR accreditation.
Background
Before retraining as a psychotherapist, I worked in Learning & Development, coaching, and Human Resources, supporting people through change, pressure, and professional challenges. This experience continues to inform my practice today.
Alongside my therapy practice, I also offer trauma-informed clinical supervision for therapists and reflective practice and wellbeing support for organisations and care teams.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
