I believe deeply that therapy can support healing, growth and recovery from adversity, trauma and emotional distress, helping us to reconnect with feelings of safety and connection in the present.
Book a sessionI am an experienced psychotherapist trained in EMDR, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and CBT. I integrate elements of these therapy approaches to create an intervention that is responsive and matched to your individual needs and hopes for therapy. I offer a non-judgemental space to explore whatever difficulties you may have with curiosity, compassion and sensitivity. These may be difficulties in the present, such as depression, anxiety, anger, traumatic events, life transitions, relationship challenges and loss. They may also be linked to the past and childhood experiences such as abuse, neglect and abandonment. Often, there are unconscious threads that connect our past experiences to our present difficulties and we will work together to explore and bring awareness to these through a deeper understanding of your unique life narrative. I have specialist training, experience and interest in working with traumatic experiences (PTSD, complex PTSD, attachment trauma) and difficulties associated with self criticism and shame. I have also trained in the following therapies, Dynamic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), which is a relational attachment focused approach and Polyvagal Informed Therapy, a trauma stabilisation approach that works with chronic nervous system dysregulation.
