About Me

An integrative psychotherapist who works with a trauma-informed approach. I look at a person's past experiences and how they impact on their present relationships, health and life in general. I integrate evidenced-informed strategies and interventions (including EMDR) to manage anxiety, anger, depression and process traumatic memories. I also offer EMDR as a distinct therapy.

My approach can illuminate patterns of behaviour or psychological difficulties that may have formed over time, contributing to finding things hard going, anxiety-provoking or just bleak. I have a background and current practice in setting up psychological services in various organisations, but I returned to practice psychotherapy as I believe that the crucible for individual change lies within the therapeutic relationship.

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

This includes childhood abuse and neglect, domestic and sexual violence.
In particular complex bereavement.
I have a particular interest in single incident and complex trauma. Complex trauma now has an ICD diagnosis which includes symptoms of PTSD (re-experiencing in the present, avoidance, hyperarousal) plus persistent impairments in affect dysregulation, dissociation, persistent beliefs about oneself as diminished, pervasive feelings of shame/guilt and difficulties in sustaining relationships of feeling close to others. In essence, trauma can present in many different ways in our current lives.
