I work with adults, children and young people. Seeking psychological therapy can be a daunting task and my aim is to develop a trusting relationship where you feel able to explore troubling issues or experiences. The starting point is always what you would like to gain or achieve from therapy, followed by identifying, with you, the best ways of working towards your goals. Whilst I work primarily using trauma focused therapy, I have a breadth of experience and I draw on a wide range of approaches, depending on your needs and preferences.
Many people are unfamiliar with EMDR Therapy. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a psychotherapy that helps you process and recover from past experiences that are affecting your mental health and wellbeing. It involves using side to side eye movements or bilateral sounds combined with talk therapy in a specific and structured format.
Therapy can be challenging at times, so it is important that we build in techniques and resources to help at those times. When working with children, my sessions are a mix of play, creative activities and more focused therapy. When working with children I often find that being 'down to earth', playful and using humour, helps to ease tension.
