I most frequently use Schema Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR; intensives also offered), Attachment-focused EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and targeted body ( somatic) focused approaches to support clients towards their goals.
I’m a Clinical Psychologist offering a warm and supportive space for those times when it feels like something needs to change and we could really use a hand. Perhaps on paper it looks like we have it all figured out but underneath we don’t feel happy. Or, we have goals we want to achieve but self-doubt, worry or other barriers leave us feeling paralysed. Sometimes the distress call is from our bodies – we are burnt out, stressed or struggling with a health condition. And sometimes events from the past feel like they are consuming our present, or we find ourselves repeating patterns we don't feel work but seem hard to escape.

My work blends person-centred practice with other models including Gestalt, mindfulness, somatic awareness and insights from other disciplines.
Striving to appear capable and together on the outside, yet privately feeling tired, unsettled, or lacking a sense of peace? Perhaps you’re longing for more than just coping - wanting life to feel more meaningful, connected, and aligned with who you really are. Many people describe feeling caught in repetition or constant striving, while losing touch with purpose, direction, or themselves. You might be questioning a role, a relationship, or a boarding school past, sensing a gap between how life looks and how it feels inside. Often, it’s not a single crisis, but a growing sense that something in your life needs attention or change.

Somatic Counsellors
How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
