Psychotherapist

verified by TherapyRoute

“I help adults shaped by childhood and complex trauma, who live constantly on edge and who struggle with negative self-beliefs, find safety, calm, and real rest — without being overwhelmed by fear and pain. Please call to arrange a free 30 minute introduction.”

About Me

If anxiety, panic, or trauma feel overwhelming, I can help. As an integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor, I offer a safe, confidential space to explore your experiences. I'm also trained and accredited in using EMDR therapy - which is a very powerful process - to help you resolve difficult and painful memories. I have three decades of experience including many different ways of working and therefore many ways to offer you help. I'm very happy to offer you a free 30 minute introduction to meet me online to find out if we can work together. Please note, I only work online, although the first session may be offered in-person if wished.

Approach

When some moments feel overwhelming, I help you track what happens in your body and thoughts so change feels tangible and within reach. In session we move at a steady, collaborative pace — stabilising, gently revisiting difficult memories, and practising new ways to respond; between sessions I offer simple, practical steps to build safety and resilience. You’ll know what to expect each week, and this straightforward, paced way of working tends to suit people who want clarity, relief and steady progress.
