Whatever difficulties or challenges you may be struggling with, my role as a therapist is to guide you away from the struggle and towards flourishing. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the words to describe your experience, they are just labels. Broadly speaking, my work is grounded in the present, whilst being oriented towards the future, and acknowledges, integrates and honors the past.

I hold diploma level qualifications as both a hypno-psychotherapist and a clinical mindfulness teacher. As a psychotherapist I also work extensively with mindfulness-based approaches (such as ACT), and also Compassion Focused Therapy.

I am registered with the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), and I’m approved by Anxiety UK to provide their members with hypnotherapy and compassion-focused therapy for anxiety.

My private practice is in London Bridge and I also offer online therapy sessions. Please do take a look at my web site, or get in touch by e-mail or phone for further information.

I am a UKCP Registered Psychotherapist and class myself as an integrative therapist and an EMDR Europe Consultant Supervisor.

What is integrative therapy?

Integrative therapy recognises there are a number of ways in which human functioning and behaviour can be explored and understood. The specific modalities I use are dependant on your main presenting issues. The include:

Hypno-Psychotherapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Brainspotting
Person-Centred Therapy
Solution-Focused Therapy
Psychosexual Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy
Marital/Relationship Therapy
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
Mindfulness

Over 2 years ago, I began my journey as a therapist, training and qualifying as a Rogerian Person-Centred Therapist. Over time I expanded my skills and training to integrate other modalities that match client treatment needs. I went on to train in couples therapy with Relate, then trained as a supervisor to supervise the work of other therapists before training as a Hypno-Psychotherapist in 2003.

Two other main therapy techniques I use are Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and  Brainspotting. Both of these therapeutic techniques have been developed around the client’s field of vision and like hypnosis, they too have a powerful ability to unlock deeper insights that have not surfaced using traditional talking therapy.

I have been trained by Relate and certified as a relationship and couples therapist.

Clinical skills and experience:

I have experience working in a number of clinical psychotherapeutic settings, including Relate, the prison service, Cruse Bereavement Care, Student Counselling Services and a Well Woman’s Centre. I offer my services to insurance companies working with accidents in the workplace and road traffic collisions.

My experience to date has encompassed a broad range of presenting issues and my skills and training are diverse.
