'To your journey I bring 30 yrs of clinically supervised practice. I offer a warm, confidential and accepting non - judgmental approach offering a safe place to explore your difficulties, distress and struggles and where mutually agreed explore pathways to plausible resolutions.
This approach is known as an Integrative approach which enables us to approach what is troubling you from a position of choice. Along with this, you remain as the central focus of our work together.
I believe in the uniqueness of each persons individuality and through the therapeutic relationship to bring insight, choice, empowerment and self understanding moving towards a fulfilling relief and personal change.'
'I am also experienced in working with EMDR since 2013 having trained across a broad spectrum of conditions and presentations.
I work with single event trauma (PTSD) to working with complex trauma (C-PTSD) and other difficulties. EMDR, is an approach that enables you to overcome unwanted difficult memories and experiences from the past that continue to influence your daily life, beliefs and decisions. EMDR can help us to lead more happier and fulfilling lives in the present.
Conducted research illustrates the benefits of EMDR and is the recommended treatment for PTSD by NICE.
