The first session in a free appointment where I will discuss with what is going on for you at the moment, how I work and we can get a feel for whether we are a good fit in continuing together. 

During this appointment I will discuss with you my confidentiality agreement, fees, and details on how I manage your information (GDPR).

I am an accredited counsellor/psychotherapist with one of the UKs leading professional bodies, the British Association of Counsellors and the Psychotherapists (BACP). I am also an accredited EMDR Practitioner with EMDR UK and have recently completed my EMDR consultancy training. I have supervised in the capacity of my prior role as a mental health coordinator for a national homeless charity. Throughout my role as a MH Coordinator I have received training in managing/coaching volunteers, dealing with aggression/conflict.

I have delivered training over the last ten years in personal safety, complex trauma and suicide prevention through programs such as Livingworks ASIST and safeTALK programs.

I have also mentored and supported counsellors through the BACP accreditation process.

My work predominately focuses on complex needs clients who have received a diagnosis of PTSD, Complex/developmental PTSD, personality disorders and addictions. I have learned to work in a creative and adaptable way using a range of psychological models. 

My specialist interest areas are in working with ego states, dissociation and complex trauma

I will spend a a session getting to know you and how you like to work, in particular what you would like to get from supervision. In supervision I consider teaching as part of my role and helping to develop your skills as a therapist. If seeking supervision for EMDR I will start by asking what your EMDR question is, I will then support you in finding solutions, offer education and empower you in the work you are doing with your clients/patients
