I am a Counselling Psychologist working with adults and young adults across a wide range of different issues. I am trained to work with a number of therapeutic approaches which I integrate to suit the individual client.

Do you feel stuck? Are you having panic attacks or feeling numb and detached? Are you avoiding places and people, short tempered and on edge all the time? Do you feel overwhelmed by intense feelings that remind you of something that happened a long time ago? Are you struggling to sleep, having dreams and nightmares? Maybe you are experiencing what is often described as trauma or PTSD. Events such as childhood abuse, bullying, assaults in adulthood, car accidents, domestic violence - all can lead to symptoms and responses that result in you being stuck in the past.

My aim is to help you achieve a better outcome for you regardless of the problem you have. I am a member of the BACP and The EMDR Association. EMDR is an evidenced based therapy that can treat many things such as PTSD,Historic Abuse and trauma from medical procedures, EMDR is recognised by NICE and The World Health Organisation. I have considerable experience of one to one working for complex bereavement and loss. Issues I can help with include depression, anxiety and Trauma (such as events experienced that are still affecting you). I have supported veterans and emergency service staff, sufferings from a variety of issues.

I provide a space that is free of judgement, in which you feel safe enough to explore your thoughts, feelings, options and healing at your own pace. I have a masters degree in trauma and PTSD and I am also trained in the Rewind Technique, which means you do not have to tell me about the traumatic event if you don't want to, but you do have to think about it.

Do you feel tense and stressed? Ruminate on the past and worry about the future? Does your heart beat faster when you're feeling anxious? You don't have to deal with your emotions alone.  It can feel very freeing to talk to someone who listens without judgement and criticism.  In fact, many clients tell me it's easier to talk about problems and worries to me, an impartial counsellor, rather than friends or family.  I work in a very gentle and caring way and I will listen to whatever you bring with respect and compassion. We can explore how you are feeling and the underlying causes to help you find coping strategies and solutions.
