I work with people with a wide range of issues including trauma and abuse, PTSD, depression, anxiety, phobias, panic attacks, and low self-esteem. I also support people with self-exploratory work, managing life transitions, stress, burnout, relationship issues, bereavement, and much more. We can focus on immediate issues as well as long-standing patterns, for example in schema therapy. Whether you know what you would like help with, or you are unsure, do get in touch to see if I can help.
I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and trained in EMDR. I take an integrative approach to therapy, using knowledge from a range of psychological models, so that I can tailor therapy around each individual's needs. I have extensive experience having worked since 2003 in the NHS, University of Oxford, and in the corporate sector.
I am not working with current University of Oxford students at the moment.
