About me and my therapy practice
Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ
I am a warm, sensitive, empathic and gently challenging Integrative Psychotherapist and EMDR therapist. I offer therapy to individual adults, children and adolescents as well as parent coaching and DDP informed family therapy. I accept referrals from fostering and adoption agencies (registered with Hampshire County Council).
I am an adult Integrative Body Psychotherapist and a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist. I am an EMDR therapist for adults and children and am Internal Family Systems informed. I am also a DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy - attachment focussed family therapy) informed therapist. I have a Diploma in assessing and treating child trauma and dissociation.
I am qualified and experienced to work with a wide range of issues, including depression and anxiety, complex trauma and dissociation, identity/gender/sexuality including transgender, chronic health issues, fatigue and pain, and issues related to being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world.
EMDR is a powerful therapy that can shift your experience from coping strategies (whether healthy or problematic) to actually feeling different and therefore making changes in your life which flow with ease. I offer EMDR for adults and children. EMDR is effective in a relatively short time of say six sessions for resolving issues such as fear of dogs or driving following an accident or traumatically scary incident, providing the person was relatively free of emotional issues and with good self esteem prior to this. EMDR is also very effective for a range of more complex mental health issues; this would involve a longer term therapy.
As an integrative therapist, I tailor the therapy to you as an individual. I commit to working at your own pace and in a way that suits you. Open, ongoing feedback on how you are finding the therapy is an important part of the process.
My private practice is based at my peaceful home in Tadley, within easy reach of Basingstoke, Reading, Newbury, Winchester and surrounding areas of Hampshire and Berkshire.
