About me and my therapy practice

I am a qualified psychotherapist and BACP accredited counsellor with many years’ experience supporting people with a range of needs. I can offer short-term or long-term therapy, according to your needs and we can explore what will work best for you. I am specially trained to work remotely and can offer therapy via a range of online methods, as well as in person (subject to the current restrictions). I support people who have experienced traumatic events in their lives and can bring my expertise as an EMDR practitioner to help people process these troubling experiences.

Practice description

Some people can become dominated by past traumatic experiences which can stop them being able to enjoy life or even be able to function freely in day-to-day living. The therapy I offer aims to help people to process these experiences so that they lose their significance.  My premises are in a quiet rural location, providing a pleasant and calming environment that also enables client privacy.  If the therapy is online, it is protected by encrypted software.

My first session

My aim is to use my knowledge and skills to provide therapy that will meet your individual needs. Initially, my primary focus will be that you feel safe enough with me to discuss your experiences. Together we will explore your needs and I will recommend how we might work together to achieve the best outcomes for you. If we are working online, we will use encrypted software to ensure confidentiality. During the therapy, I will check with you on a frequent basis that the therapy still feels right for you.
