About me and my therapy practice
Welcome. I am an experienced and fully qualified psychotherapist offering trauma informed care for adults and adolescents.( 16+) My aim as a therapist is to help you work through painful or confusing experiences, to work with stabilising a dysregulated nervous system and to encourage you to become more emotionally robust- all in a safe, confidential and therapeutic environment. I believe in self compassion, self confidence and our human essence.
I can help with anxiety, addiction, depression, eating disorders, stress, relationships, bereavement and traumatic events especially relating to PTSD, childhood adverse experiences and complex PTSD.
The first session allows me to find out what has brought you to therapy, and assess how many sessions you may require. I offer short term therapy (10 sessions) and longer term therapy is also available.
My background:
I trained at Regents's University in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology and I incorporate Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal theory and safe and sound protocol, Sensorimotor therapy, Somatic experiencing, and EMDR in my practice. I previously worked as a psychotherapist for the NHS and I am a fully qualified and accredited member of the BACP.
My therapy services are also underpinned by my corporate and entrepreneurial experience. In 2002 I created an Interior Design company and running a creative enterprise has deepened my understanding of managing stress and finding balance.
I am located at my private practice in Brook Green, Hammersmith. W6
