Online only, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. 

My extensive expertise includes specialisation in trauma treatment and couples therapy. I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where you can explore all aspects of yourself and your life. I will support you in finding your voice, self-confidence and advocating for your boundaries. I will accompany you on a journey to find healing for your trauma and help you get in touch with a wise, compassionate and creative part of yourself. As an experienced therapist, I work with individuals and couples to navigate life's challenges. 

As a trauma specialist, I offer treatment for birth trauma, traumatic bereavement, traumatic medical treatment, abuse, cancer, Complex PTSD, childhood trauma, and any other trauma. 

I am a qualified EMDR therapist, and I am working through my accreditation with EMDR Europe. In addition to EMDR, I completed specialist training in Internal Family Systems, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy. My clients can expect a sensitive and warm approach.  

As a couple's therapist, the issues I address are:

 - Conflict

- lack of support

- betrayal of trust and affairs

- relationship crises

- poor communication

- separation and endings

- unfulfilling relationship

- moving to mastery in a relationship where you can thrive

 My supporting qualifications in working with couples are:

Advanced Certificate in Working with Couples, accredited by the NCIP.

A year-long Internship Level 1 with The Couples Institute (US)

In trauma work,  I will guide you through three stages:

The cost for trauma therapy is £100 for 90 minutes. Concessions are available to emergency workers,  student therapists and for birth trauma. 

In couples therapy, through coaching and psychoeducation, we'll tackle your challenges and enable personal growth to support your relationship's development. 

Couples therapy has many components: 

*assessment and goal setting, when we will take time to reflect on your relationship and identify the key areas you would like to address in therapy 

* identifying the developmental stage in a relationship where you are stuck, and the relationship type

* understanding how your history contributes to relationship problems today

*coaching in communication skills

* addressing differences and unresolved conflicts

*working through relational and individual trauma

Couples therapy is charged at £110 for 90 minutes.
