About me
I am a Chartered and HCPC Registered Counselling Psychologist working with adults and young people (14+). I also work with individuals and couples struggling with sexual and relationship difficulties as an Accredited Psychosexual Therapist (AccCOSRT).
I have a special interest in Schema Therapy which focuses on understanding how early life experiences have contributed to emotional and relational difficulties that can be long-standing and complex.
I also work with those experiencing the effects of traumatic events, PTSD or Complex Trauma. I am qualified in EMDR therapy for both adults and young people.
