I offer EMDR weekly sessions and EMDR Intensives, CBT and Couples Counselling therapy and the aim is to help you to regain a sense of wellbeing and enjoyment in your life. During the initial assessment we will work together to understand your main problems, what is keeping you 'stuck' and then agree on an individualised treatment plan to help you move forward with clear treatment goals. CBT is an effective treatment that can help you in the here and now and EMDR is useful for getting to the roots of the problem. I find that both work well, in different ways to bring about an improvement in emotional and physical health.

Many people go through periods of times when they feel vulnerable, anxious, stressed, depressed or just unhappy. Sometimes these are triggered by obvious causes, like a breakup in a relationship, job loss or a bereavement, while at other times the underlying causes seem opaque, especially when life appears to be fulfilling and good.We carry around sadness, guilt, shame, pain, darkness, anger, despair and in some cases a sense of desperation. It is possible to feel relief, to let some of the pain go, to gain strength and confidence, have the ability to heal and grow so you can live a life without anxiety worry and horrible thoughts.

Most people who find me are not looking for a label. They are looking for someone who can meet what they are actually carrying: a relationship with food or the body that has taken over, a dependence they cannot break alone, the long shadow of trauma, or a low, flat sense that life has lost its meaning. My work begins with what sits underneath the symptom, not only the symptom itself.
Much of my work is confidential addiction treatment for professionals — a discreet alternative to rehab, and aftercare for those leaving one. Trained at Hazelden, PROMIS and Cardinal Clinic, I treat addiction and eating disorders as one problem.
