My website

I support clients navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and overwhelming life transitions — including those who feel disconnected, stuck, or unsure why they’re struggling. Using EMDR and BWRT, I work with distressing memories, anxiety, phobias, binge eating, self-sabotaging thoughts and unwanted habits, drawing on neuroscience-informed approaches to support lasting change. Schema Therapy offers deeper exploration of underlying patterns, strengthening self-awareness, insight, and personal growth. I work with men and women, including adolescents experiencing exam stress and pressure, as well as individuals facing divorce.

I help clients “overwrite” unhelpful patterns in the brain. Using EMDR and BWRT, we reprocess trauma, anxiety and self-sabotage, clearing old data and creating new responses. Schema Therapy can add depth for those wanting to explore underlying patterns and gain insight, supporting lasting change.

If you feel trapped, overwhelmed, or weighed down by the burdens life has imposed on you, I offer a supportive, results-oriented approach to help you regain balance, process difficult emotions, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
