Over four decades, I have perfected a highly-effective and evidence-based approach. Initially, the capacity for confidence, resilience, comfort, and security, can be meaningfully enhanced through mindfulness, self-compassion, or deep relaxation tools. The heart of the work can be a comprehensive Life Review — a fascinating and deeply reflective exploration of one’s life experiences and relationships, including with oneself. This can help identify and tangibly target patterns or emotional “stuck points” using engaging and enjoyable methods such as CBT, EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Schema Work, Solution-Focused, IFS, and Socratic Dialogue.
CBT Schema Therapy focuses on identifying and addressing deeply ingrained past patterns and beliefs. Mindfulness, Self & Clinical Hypnotherapy and Self-Compassion equip one with practical tools to override unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, leading to a changed Self/World view. EMDR - Gentle warp-speed, tangible, concrete change without effort/ disturbance.
Key Benefits of Virtual Therapy • Convenience: Sessions are conducted from the comfort of your own chosen environment - no need to face the distraction of commuting afterwards. • Effectiveness: Virtual therapy has been shown to be as effective as in-person sessions, with clients feeling more at ease in their familiar surroundings + with greater privacy.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is so effective because it helps the brain process and reframe uncomfortable or disturbing memories in a way that reduces their emotional charge. It allows people to confront distressing experiences without being overwhelmed; with surprising ease.
