I also completed specialist post qualification training in CAT (Cognitive Analytic Therapy) & and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing).
You may be considering therapy to address specific difficulties such as depression, the impact of trauma, or difficulties in relationships with others, or you may have a wish for personal growth. Therapy recognises the importance of our experiences and our relationships or contact with others and our efforts to manage these. It offers the opportunity to gain an understanding of ourselves, of how we think, feel, behaviour & relate (including with ourselves) & consider change. After almost 30 years of working as a therapist in the NHS I moved into independent practice.

I am an Occupational Therapist, Coach & EMDR practitioner, with 17 yrs clinical experience.
Life can be hard! In fact I don't think any of us can navigate life without experiencing difficulties or painful events. There is also a mountain of self help advice out there, that makes it almost impossible to work out what is best for you and your unique circumstances, when you already feel overwhelmed with life. You might feel lost, anxious, unmotivated, frustrated, resentful or a whole heap of conflicting emotions and you don't know where to start. You know how you don't want to feel - but making it happen feels...too hard. I want to help you. I want you to wake up without that bubbling anxiety in your stomach. You matter.

Many of my clients are the ones others turn to - driven, reliable, capable, and holding themselves to high standards. But beneath that, they feel overwhelmed, burnt out, and unsure whether they will ever feel 'enough'. Maybe you tie your worth to being useful, or you're wondering if your difficulties are linked to childhood patterns or undiagnosed ADHD. You might face impostor syndrome at work or feel stuck in relationship patterns where you give more than you get. You may have grown up fast, learned to over-function, and struggle with boundaries. You want to feel seen, grounded, validated, and live from self-worth, not self-doubt.

I offer EMDR, CAT, CBT, ACT, and CFT in English and Spanish.
I specialise in helping people with long-standing trauma and anxiety, who feel stuck in patterns of intrusive thoughts, persistent worries, self-criticism, and regret. Often, there are multiple overlapping difficulties that have affected identity, confidence, relationships, or daily life. I work with people who benefit from longer-term therapy, consistent appointments, and an individualised treatment plan that may involve one therapeutic approach or a carefully integrated combination of therapies. So, if previous therapy didn't brought the change you hoped, if you've felt unheard and unseen, you may be exactly who I work best with.

EMDR Counsellors
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimising its ability to trigger anxiety.
