About me

Trauma leaves us feeling broken, in pain and disconnected from our true selves. You may be exhausted by feeling triggered in everyday situations, isolated from friends and family who can't understand, or struggling to make sense of what happened to you. You may not even remember a time you didn't feel like this. It is wonderful that you're here now because you've decided you deserve more and are ready to feel different. Most of all you're ready to leave the past in the past, change old patterns that no longer serve you and step into a hopeful future on your own terms.

I am a registered practitioner psychologist, EMDR therapist and psychotherapeutic counsellor. I specialise in working with adults who are struggling with PTSD, complex trauma or any past experience big or small which is stopping you from fully enjoying life in the present. My approach is gentle, and I will give you as much time as you need to tell your story, because therapy should be a place where you feel listened to and valued as the worthwhile and important person that you are.

I take an integrative approach to talking therapy, and am particularly informed by ideas from psychodynamic, and person-centred approaches. I also offer EMDR (eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing) as a focussed therapy of its own, or alongside talking therapy. EMDR is a powerful therapy that helps the brain to reprocess and heal the pain of difficult memories. EMDR therapy is best known for treating PTSD but can help with a range of other difficulties too. You can ask me any questions you have about EMDR or the other approaches I use when we meet.

I'll meet you exactly where you are, and offer you the support you need to find strength you never knew you had. A life where more ease and self-acceptance is possible and attainable. You don't have to be a prisoner of your past, and you don't have to do it alone. Contact me for a free 30 minute initial consultation - I look forward to hearing from you.
