About me and my therapy practice
As an Integrative Counsellor I draw on many different models and theories of Counselling, as I believe different approaches suit different clients. Since qualifying in 2008 I have become an EMDR therapist and have child level 1&2 EMDR, added a CBT Diploma, a Supervision Diploma and a Couples Diploma, along with extensive training in many other therapies and models such as Gestalt, Bereavement and Loss, DDP, Inner Child and trauma. I have worked extensively with children and young people as well as adults. I have gained a lot of experience in working with trauma , anxiety and depression as well as working with identity, abuse, relationship difficulties and low self-esteem. Together we can explore anything that is currently hindering you from living the life you would like.

Practice description
I work from my home in Plympton. I have a room on the ground floor and offer sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis. Sessions last for between 50 minutes up to an hour (can be 1.5 hrs for EMDR or couples) I can provide both face to face sessions as well as sessions on Zoom.
Whist entering therapy can be a daunting prospect. I aim to offer a warm welcoming room, which is both a comfortable and a safe therapeutic space, in which we can explore whatever it is that has brought you to therapy.
