I am normally available during the week, where i offer weekly sessions lasting 50 minutes, there may be opportunities for longer processing sessions. 

I offer online trauma-focused therapies including Internal Family Systems' therapy (level 3 trained); and EMDR Association Accredited EMDR, and attachment focused EMDR. 

These sessions are not wholly about looking for problems but also looking for healing, wholeness and compassion to your Self. 

I have a background in NHS liaison psychiatry, I am BACP Registered and have NMC registration and DBS Enhanced clearance. 

Thank you. 

I offer an accredited psychotherapy service integrating Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR. I am an IFS Institute Level-3 therapist and an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, with an NHS background in liaison psychiatry.

 Often the parts of you that carry the deepest pain we avoid and so the problem persists. But we can love these fearful parts and witness their story; and release your burdens. 

My 'USP' is i have a dual training in both Internal Family Systems' therapy while also being an accredited EMDR therapist (and attachment-informed EMDR). So you don't have to go to another therapist to help with traumatic memories.

The practice invites you to turn toward parts of your that cause you difficulty with curiosity and compassion. For example you might have a part that fears abandonment and begins to self-abandon, and instead of getting angry with this part, we get to know and connect with love. So we are not trying to remove symptoms; instead we befriend them with love.

I can help you process emotional trauma, PTSD, abuse, neglect, fears, any mental or somatic issue which causes suffering. Together we explore how you adapted to survive, and how these protective parts overdo it. In this way your sense of self heals. 

I also enjoy helping with creative issues & blocks in achieving creative concerns such as with writing; i’m also a judge for the Orwell Society.

The parts of us carrying the deepest pain often hold our greatest love and liveliness - even if that feels impossible to believe right now. 

When anxiety, shame, anger, responsibility, or stress, weigh these parts down, joy and clarity can feel unreachable.

IFS and EMDR can offer a gentle but powerful way back.

Healing doesn't come from fixing or suppressing pain, but from turning towards these isolated or overwhelmed parts with curiosity and compassion. 

When we do this something shifts. 

These parts soften, begin to unburden, and gradually restore their natural qualities: creativity, confidence, connection and compassion. 

This is a deep, embodied reconnection with your authentic self. 

I can offer a free 30 minute Zoom session, which is confidential and a chance to explore your concerns. 

This is not really an NHS assessment as such, it is more being present in a therapeutic relationship where you become curious about parts of you that are protective and yet cause some protective disturbance or 'symptoms'. 

You can also text me confidentially on 07525 456544 and i will get back to you. Thank you.
