I offer a personalised and unique approach tailored to each individual client. I use a holistic approach, that allows for a deep and personal connection with clients.

I recognise the courage and strength it takes to start an inward journey of self discovery and make every attempt to support each client to do this in their unique way.

As a certified psychotherapist trained in a person-centred pluralist counselling framework and EMDR (Eye Movement Desentisisation Reprocessing) Practitioner, I am continually updating my skills and both personally and professionally developing in various areas. Over many years this has included: EMDR; Working with Trauma; Grief, Loss, and Bereavement; Creative Clinical Supervision; Yoga and Meditation Teacher Trainings; Neurolinguistic Programming;  Shamanic Breathwork Facilitation; Creative/Art Processing; Solution-Focused Brief Therapy; Mental Health Recovery Mentoring, and Coaching; and Motivational Interviewing.

This all allows for the integration of a psychotherapeutic journey that encompasses personal growth on physical, mental, emotional, philosophical and spiritual levels. 

I work with all clients as unique individuals to co-create a bespoke approach to their therapy.

Clients are supported as individuals who may bring a wide range of conditions, e.g., anxiety, depression, long-term health, grief, loss and bereavement, conditions, work-related difficulties including burnout and stress, and sleep-related issues, injuries, trauma recovery and relationship issues, birth trauma, physical birth injuries, and offers inclusive care to LGBTQIA+ individuals.

In addition to private practice with the public I also work as an Expert Witness Psychotherapist, conducting assessments and therapy, and writing reports for the issues around clinical negligence, child removal and Childrens' Services, and traumatic injury involving litigation and legal services. 

I offer a free initial 25 minute session to establish a relational contact, to ensure that we are a good fit for your therapeutic journey.

Prior to your first full session you will be provided with a therapy preference questionnaire. This forms the basis of how your therapy will be delivered, to explore the approach, and establish your needs and goals and aspirations for therapy.
