Take a deep breath! Then another, lets start on the right foot! 

Take another deep breath. 

OK then, thanks for taking the time to look at my profile. 

Hopefully this will serve to let you know what I am offering is a great mix of expertise, experience and humanity. Your journey in recovery can start right here! 

Equally  important to all the qualifications  and accreditation, is the quality of compassion and empathy of the listening ear. 

I know that you need understanding before tailoring the right treatment. 

Here's the evidence that I'm 'the real deal' as far as being a therapist is concerned:

My career  began in addiction services, where I developed extensive expertise in alcohol misuse, substance dependency, gambling and associated psychological difficulties. I hold a Master's Degree in Substance Misuse Treatment Protocols from Imperial College, London and have supported people throughout all stages of recovery, from recognising problematic patterns to maintaining long-term change.

Over the past seven years I have specialised in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), achieving full accreditation in both approaches. I am triple accredited as an Accredited CBT Therapist with BABCP, an Accredited Practitioner with the EMDR Association UK, and an Accredited Counsellor with Â鶹ԭ´´.

I hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy 

I also have an Advance Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from Victoria Counselling in Southend. 

Clients often describe me as warm, approachable and non-judgmental. I aim to provide a safe space where you can explore difficulties, develop resilience and achieve your therapeutic goals.

All sessions are provided online via Google Meet.

What you will be getting is a highly experienced and highly qualified therapist who has a exceptional  track record of achieving recovery with clients who have a  wide range of problems. 

This will maximise your chances of feeling better about yourself and your life. 

We can have a 20 minutes or so introductory call,  free of charge,  to see if you think I will be able to help you in a significant way. 

I'm only available eves and weekends 

My full time day job is a High Intensity CBT/EMDR Therapist.
