I specialise in combining EMDR and Schema Therapy in an intensive format. This approach is suitable for most people and is particularly beneficial for people who are looking to get fast symptom relief from PTSD, complex PTSD related to adverse childhood experiences, phobias, anxiety, complex grief, and depression. With this model you can expect to achieve more than you would in conventional therapy, so it is more time and cost effective. We get really specific about your goals and stay targeted on moving though the 8 phases of EMDR processing, thereby doing deep lasting work so you can move forward.

My ideal client is someone who is reflective and open to exploring the deeper layers of their experience. They may be navigating challenges such as anxiety, neurodivergence, or past trauma, but they are also seeking more than symptom relief—they want to reconnect with meaning, purpose, and joy. They are curious, engaged in their personal growth, and ready to foster a greater sense of fulfillment and authenticity in their lives.

I work with adults, young people, and parents. Many of my clients identify with ADHD or are exploring a possible diagnosis. Some have a recent diagnosis and feel unsure what it means. Others have lived with it for years and feel exhausted from trying to keep up. I also work with clients who carry the impact of trauma, including those who feel stuck in patterns of overwhelm, avoidance, or self-criticism. Often, clients come in feeling frustrated with themselves. They have tried strategies that do not work and are looking for a different way to understand what is happening.

Sessions available online and in person.
You might be functioning on the outside while feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly exhausted inside. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware - yet caught in loops of anxiety, burnout, emotional overload, or relationship strain. Some are navigating neurodivergence, major life transitions, or the impact of long-term stress. They’re not looking for platitudes; they want clarity, relief, and a way forward that actually fits how their mind works.

Life rarely follows a straight line. It can be overwhelming, messy and empty. Sometimes we just feel stuck, not knowing what to do. The ways we try to cope - like cutting off from things or people we value - often make us feel more sad or worried. I work with young people, adults and families to develop new perspectives, learn strategies to cope and build meaningful lives.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
