I am normally available during the week, where i offer weekly sessions lasting 50 minutes, there may be opportunities for longer processing sessions. 

Thank you. 

I offer a psychotherapy service with a trauma and somatic focus.

Are you living with the symptoms of emotional ‘trauma’, distressing memories and abrupt emotional triggers? Is this making life, work and relationships more difficult? Perhaps you experience flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, panic attacks, phobias, anger, fear? Maybe you get distracted, get startled, and even dissociate and lose your self?

Modern therapies approach emotional problems through a 'trauma lens' knowing the ‘Body Keeps the Score’.  I can help you relate again to all parts of your self and process wounds and often these wounds are what didn't happen to us, not necessary what might have happened. I used internal family systems' therapy integrated with EMDR therapy.

I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ Registered psychodynamic therapist, specialising in Internal Family Systems’ (IFS) therapy; I am also an EMDR Association accredited theraoist; and I am registered with the Nursing & Midwifery Council. I have a 20-year background in NHS liaison psychiatry and in GP surgeries. I can help with complex difficulties.

I integrate Internal Family Systems’ and trauma (EMDR) therapies, to help you with relationship issues going back to experiences of neglect, abuse and abandonment. 

 The Parts of us carrying the deepest pain often hold our greatest love and liveliness—though that might feel impossible to believe right now.

 Pain, fear, and shame can weigh these Parts down so heavily that joy and excitement for life feel out of reach. But ive learned:

 Healing doesn’t come from fixing or pushing pain away.

It comes from turning toward those Parts of us with curiosity and compassion—simply witnessing their story without trying to change them.


When we do this, something beautiful happens. These Parts begin to unburden.

They release the weight of shame, exhaustion, or fear and reveal their natural gifts

I also specialise in:

• Codependency – where you may abandon yourself to meet others’ needs

• Narcissistic abuse recovery – supporting you in reclaiming voice, boundaries, and trust

I can offer a free 30 minute Zoom session, which is confidential and a chance to explore your concerns. 

TYou can also text me confidentially on 07525 456544 and i will get back to you. Thank you.
