In addition to these qualifications, I also completed a CertHE in Counselling in 1990 and have over 40 years of experience in mental health, including roles within the NHS and military healthcare.
Many of my clients are struggling with anxiety, trauma, low mood, or emotional overwhelm. Some are processing past abuse or loss, while others feel stuck or disconnected and want to understand themselves better. You may be seeking relief, clarity, or a calmer mind. Whether you have clear goals or just need someone to talk to, I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where we can work at your pace. I primarily work with adult individuals and couples aged 18 and over. In some cases, I also see young people aged 14 and above, depending on their individual circumstances and presenting needs.

I specialise in working with those with a history of trauma, whether that’s one off events such as a car crash, sexual assault or attack, or layers of trauma in the form of childhood neglect/abuse, a military/medical career or an abusive relationship.
At the core of my work is a person centred philosophy. I see every patient as different and individual which is why I tailor my approach to each person. I don’t necessarily agree with prescribing a method to a diagnosis or problem as I’ve found this is not always helpful. However I am qualified to deliver EMDR and NET, both evidence based trauma therapies.

I am a Humanistic Integrative therapist, which means my "eclectic" style of therapy is adaptable to the individual. The integrative approach views the client as a whole and considers many different therapy styles and approaches to find what works for the individual, and appeals most to their personality and attachment style. I view my clients as people, not jargon, and an advocate for personal autonomy. I use many techniques but specialise in Transactional Analysis.
