About me

My approach focuses on helping you to understand why particular ways of coping or parts have developed for you by understanding how they relate to your childhood experiences.

We can then work together on gaining an understanding of their function and how you can move forwards by exploring what you want to change or let go of.

I use EMDR both as a stand-alone treatment for trauma events but also blend EMDR with parts work and CBT to allow processing of the early experiences which have led to the development of parts and negative self beliefs.

I have a background in mindfulness so am able to hold the therapeutic space to allow you to bring what you most need to, without judgment.

I tend to reflect on what I'm seeing in the room and bring this to the discussion in a open and honest way, as I feel this is invaluable to understanding what is happening for you. Feedback I regularly receive is that I'm authentic, warm and approachable.

Clients have also fedback that they found our sessions enjoyable and through our work have gained good insight into what led them to therapy and why.

I am adaptive within my approach working both on a focused piece of work or longer term if needed with a special interest in Self Criticism, Anger, Low Self Esteem and OCD
