You may be getting through each day while struggling to hold yourself together. Something has happened, or something has finally given way, and you are left wondering whether therapy is justified or whether you should be coping better by now. Many people reach this point after a loss, shock, or rupture that exposes how much has been carried for a long time. This is often where earlier relationship experiences and childhood wounds surface as patterns that suddenly feel impossible to manage alone. Therapy offers a way to make sense of what has been triggered and to work with it, rather than pushing through and hoping it settles.
My main approaches are EMDR and Schema Therapy. EMDR helps update stuck memories from recent events and early experiences; Schema Therapy targets the deep patterns formed in childhood that play out in attachment and relationships. Together, they are especially effective for shifting long-standing relational cycles. I am also trained in CBT and ACT.
I am a Chartered Psychologist with over 15 years’ experience, and an EMDR Accredited Practitioner. Work starts with a focused conversation to understand your goals and what has kept you stuck, moving towards a plan to get you where you want to be. Sessions are online and paced to suit you, with clear, evidence-based steps towards meaningful change.

This work is for when the same reactions and relationship patterns keep repeating, no matter how much insight you have. When emotions feel too big, or hard to control. Therapy helps those patterns loosen so you can feel steadier, clearer, and more in charge of your responses. The aim is to regain choice, freedom, and a deeper sense of peace, even when that feels out of reach.

I work primarily with EMDR and Schema Therapy because they create change at the root of the problem. This work goes beyond managing symptoms or understanding things intellectually. By processing key experiences and shifting long-standing patterns, therapy supports changes that are felt in everyday life, relationships, and emotional responses, and that continue long after sessions end.
