I’m an EMDR Europe Consultant, BABCP Accredited CBT Psychotherapist, and Dynamic Interpersonal Therapist with 18+ years of NHS experience. Former Clinical Lead for one of the UK’s largest NHS Talking Therapies providers. Trial therapist for EMDR and Avatar Therapy research. I’ve supervised 100+ psychologists, therapists, and psychiatrists in CBT, and consult to several NHS Trusts in EMDR. I specialise in complex PTSD, developmental and attachment trauma, and persistent physical symptoms, using EMDR, IFS, and attachment-informed approaches.
I trained at University College London, Kings College London and University of Essex.
I specialise in complex PTSD, developmental and attachment trauma, persistent physical symptoms, and medically unexplained symptoms — including fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, long COVID, IBS, and functional neurological disorder. Using EMDR, CBT, DIT, and IFS, I work with people whose difficulties haven’t responded to standard therapy.
With over a decade of NHS specialist services, research, training and supervisory experience, I offer a proactive, goal-focused approach — not open-ended therapy. I’m transparent if I’m not the right fit. I offer longer sessions and intensive EMDR scheduling to reduce suffering as quickly as possible.
