About me and my therapy practice
If you are trying to squash down feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, anger (perhaps mainly self directed) and stress, but it's not working, maybe it's time to talk things through with someone who will listen, not judge, or think you're a burden or try to "fix" things.
I offer a non judgemental space, to challenge patterns and beliefs that are impacting your life, tackle a potential inner critic that says you should be able to cope, and together we can tap into and develop your resources and emotional coping mechanisms.
Alongside talking therapy, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a proven, effective psychotherapy that enables people to heal from symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. These can range from a one off event to a pattern of emotional disturbances that have been affecting you since childhood.
If anxiety and stress are affecting your sleep, I also offer CBT for insomnia, and can advise on ways to improve your night’s rest.
Depending on your needs, I offer short-term counselling to deal with a specific issue, and longer, more open-ended work to explore more long standing issues.
I am registered with the following insurance companies: AXA Health, Aviva, Cigna, Aetna and WPA.
My first session
I appreciate that coming to therapy can be scary, particularly if you haven't been before. You may not even know where to start to talk about what's bothering you. It's my job to help make it easy for you to open up, by asking questions about your life, your family and your work, what you want to get out of therapy, basically getting to know you. I suggest emailing me to arrange an initial session. In this session, we can explore what's bringing you to therapy, a little about your background and the practicalities of working together. I am here to help and support you, and this initial meeting is for you to see whether you feel comfortable talking with me.
