I am available 10:00 - 19:00, Monday to Friday.

Hello. I'm an accredited therapist with the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ who provides psychodynamic psychotherapy, EMDR & CBT.  I work with adults, teens and older age and have a particular focus on anxiety & depression, OCD & intrusive thoughts, chronic illness/disability and LGBTQ+ issues.

However, I work with a wide variety of issues that cause distress. Maybe you’ve found yourself in crisis, or are struggling with an anxiety/worry that has come to dominate your life. Maybe you’ve experienced a distressing incident, loss or bereavement that has become overwhelming. I provide a containing and open space for you to explore yourself without judgment and to begin to meet the challenges in your life.

I offer an honest, trusting, and fundamentally collaborative approach to therapy. I tend to work with a psychodynamic approach, which means that I will encourage you to explore yourself in ways that are likely to include:

- your past and how you can relate it to the present
- how you relate to others and how you have experienced others throughout your life. 

I treat people with EMDR, which stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing. It is a unique, powerful therapy that helps people recover from problems triggered by traumatic events in their lives. It stops difficult memories causing so much distress by helping the brain to reprocess them properly, working with memory to heal the legacy of past pain.

EMDR therapy is best known for treating PTSD but can help with a range of mental health conditions in people of all ages including depression and anxiety. https://emdr-europe.org/

I also work with CBT, which is an approach that focuses on thoughts, emotions, physical feelings and actions, and explores how each one can affect the other. I'd particularly encourage you to think about and identify negative thought processes and unhelpful beliefs, and work with you to develop more useful thinking.

I offer a free initial online consultation, where we can explore your needs.

I work as a therapist from a psychodynamic approach, and am also trained in, and work with, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). In your first session or consultation, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress.  

I have experience working with a wide variety of issues, and I particularly specialise in the following:

Health anxiety
Death Anxiety
OCD & intrusive thoughts
Chronic illness
LGBTQ+
Disability
