With previous extensive NHS experience as a therapist, supervisor, and manager, I am a very passionate, compassionate, authentic, and experienced childhood trauma specialist. I specialize in early life trauma and any other forms of PSTD/trauma. I work with both adults & children (from 13 years old), struggling with all forms of anxiety and depression. Therapy can really help alleviate distressing symptoms and find a better way of managing difficult situations. It may be that anxiety has triggered difficult memories and caused depression symptoms. I use an individualized approach delivered with compassion and understanding
I am available for Cognitive Behavioural Therapist(CBT), Schema Therapy (ST), and Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma. I also offer Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). Clinical supervision for therapists is also available. For more please visit our website.
As individuals are experts around how they feel and know where it hurts, I always make sure that there is a strong partnership that acknowledges individual’s strengths and preferences towards treatment. If you need help to figure out life or you have been struggling with distressing symptoms and would like to claim back your life, do get in touch.
