I am a BACP accredited counsellor and EMDR therapist with over 20 years of experience working therapeutically with a broad range of clients in different settings.
I have worked in the charity sector for over 16 years specialising as a trauma therapist; working with people who have experienced traumatic events, sexual violence, abuse and complex mental health.
My Approach
Trauma often requires working with a person for a longer period but, in my experience, progress can be surprisingly quick. Whether you are struggling with the effects of trauma or facing a more general life difficulty, therapy can help you find clarity, strength, and new ways of moving forward.
I work in an Integrative and Person-Centred way, which means I draw from different therapeutic approaches to create a style of counselling that best suits your individual needs. My focus is on building a safe, collaborative, and compassionate relationship where you feel supported and empowered. My aim is to help you get to a breakthrough, a shift in perspective, or a process of healing that feels right for you.
I also offer EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which is a structured approach designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories.
Supervision
I have been providing clinical supervision to both trainee and qualified counsellors for over 12 years, offering support and guidance for professional growth and reflective practice.
