A very warm welcome to my page! I am an Accredited CBT therapist, EMDR therapist and Couples Therapist specialising in Trauma (PTSD), OCD and Anxiety. I appreciate that choosing a therapist can seem like quite a daunting experience. Whether you have had previous therapy, or this is your first time reaching out, I will aim to put you at ease and offer a comfortable space to feel heard, listened to and understood. I welcome you to contact me for a free 20 minute telephone consultation to discuss your needs and ask any questions you may have. Please also visit my website to find out more about how I may be able to help.
The approaches I use include CBT, which takes a problem-solving approach to breaking unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours (e.g. over-thinking, worrying excessively) and using proven methods to reduce feelings of anxiety and low mood; whilst EMDR uses specific techniques to free the mind and body of distressing reactions to past traumatic memories.
I also offer Couples Therapy which draws on various approaches to help resolve difficulties and conflicts between partners. Whichever the problems you may be facing, I have a broad range of experience and expertise to guide and support you. Together, we can find ways to lift the weight of your struggles, and address your aims and goals for therapy.

During couples therapy, we work together to help identify and break unhelpful patterns that might be maintaining conflict and distance between partners. This is an integrative approach, with a variety of methods used to help partners understand each other better, and develop healthier communication styles. Similarly, changing behaviours can also help foster a closer and stronger connection.
