Hi, I'm Michelle, a children's CBT & EMDR therapist. I specialise in working with children between the ages of 5 & 18 suffering with PTSD & trauma/distress. I also work with adults. I treat various forms of anxiety (social, health, school, separation, worry, phobias, panic, perfectionism) and depression, self-esteem & OCD. I help with emotions: sadness, anger, guilt & fear. Symptoms of self harm & suicidal thoughts. If you or your child is struggling with: school/work, friendships, nightmares, flashbacks, intrusive thoughts then I am able to help. I've many years experience helping children & adults get their happiness back!

I will help your child overcome their difficulty, distress, trauma and get their lives back. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and EMDR are the gold standard treatment in psychotherapy for trauma, depression & anxiety. I feel strongly about delivering scientific-proven techniques. I place emphasis on adapting to age, learning need & individual differences.

The Children & Adults I work with have amazing success & are empowered to overcome, heal, develop wonderful self esteem & they get their lives back! This is a blessing to see. I have a CAMHS background with 20+ yrs working with children. Please do reach out to me on email if you would like to book yourself or your child in for Initial Assessment.
