After an initial careful assessment and formulation, the main therapies and interventions I provide are: EMDR therapy to process trauma and calm the triggers; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to ease anxiety and negative thoughts; Sleep Hygeine to relieve insomnia, and Imagery Re-scripting to re- work early disturbing memories so that they lose their hold over you.

I mainly use EMDR therapy, together with CBT and Imagery Re-scripting. At your first appointment, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. With EMDR you are not required to speak in detail about your traumatic experiences, as this could only make you feel worse. Rather, I will guide you through a process to healing.
