I am an AMHSW, Accredited EMDR therapist, trained and experienced in attachment-EMDR and Advanced Clinical Resource Therapy. Specialising in c-PTSD, I work with adults impacted by childhood trauma and attachment disruption. Also with acute trauma from violence, SA, accidents, and first responders.
As an outcome-focused therapist, I work with individuals to achieve effective and positive results. Understanding the importance of a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship, I naturally put people at ease and provide an open, honest, safe space without judgment.
I work with people via NDIS, WorkSafe, GP referral and self referral.
With over 18 years’ experience, working in both the UK and Australia. I am trained and practiced in EMDR, Resource Therapy, FLASH 2.0, TF-CBT, ACT and other evidenced trauma therapies. Specialising in adults living with childhood trauma, sexual trauma, relational trauma and one-off traumatic events. People leave my service with significant symptom reduction.
Taking the first step is one of the hardest things to do and can often be shrouded in self doubt, lack of confidence and fear. You may also have had previous experiences in therapy that was unsuccessful or difficult. I encourage you to contact me for a no obligation telephone chat, get a feel for the kind of therapist I am and what I can offer you.
