I am an accredited CBT and EMDR therapist with a passion for helping people find their way through life's challenges. I have been working in mental health services for over 15 years and practicing CBT since 2012 and EMDR since 2015. I also currently supervise CBT therapists and trainees in secondary care services on complex cases.
I've worked in child and adolescent mental health, primary care and as well as working in a first episode of psychosis service. I have a range of experiences and skills developed to treat a variety of presentations. I have a real interest in trauma and have worked with complex presentations using EMDR to help people process and move on from trauma
I strongly believe that any therapy that is successful is based on having a solid therapeutic relationship. For me that means building trust and showing genuine empathy and understanding are vital in any therapy I offer my clients.

The methods I use vary from person to person, but this is something we can discuss in our initial session. I often find a combination of styles and therapy types works best. I will often use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) to help work on a variety of issues and presentations.
