Clinical Psychologist

“Private psychological therapy offered including EMDR and CBT. Self-funding or insurance funded.”

About Me

When life feels overwhelming, finding clarity and new ways to cope is vital. I offer private psychological therapy, guiding individuals through difficult emotions and experiences. We can gently process past events and build strength for the future, using approaches like EMDR. My aim is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel understood. Here, you can develop practical tools for lasting well-being, whether self-funding or insurance-funded.

Approach

Private sessions in Reigate are paced to your needs, blending structured reflection with gentle, targeted processing to help you make sense of difficult memories. I see people in Reigate, Surrey, working at a rhythm that suits adolescents and adults, and we agree practical steps to try between appointments so progress feels tangible. Together we set small, achievable goals, practise new coping skills during sessions and revisit past experiences when you're ready, tracking change and adapting the plan. This way of working often suits people facing trauma, anxiety, low mood or burnout.
