I now live and practice in East London, UK, where I work with adults. My practice areas include:

• Couples Therapy
• Individual Therapy
• Depression and Anxiety Therapy
• Bereavement Counselling
• Abuse or trauma issues
• Parent-child conflict

My practice is informed by these techniques:

• CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
• DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy)
• Imago Couples Therapist
• I am a certified EMDR (Eye-Motor Desensitization Reprocessing) trauma therapist
• CRM Comprehensive Resource Model

Since 2003 I have been counselling in diverse settings such as hospice care, schools, colleges, charities working with abuse and trauma, and in the Mental Health Services of the NHS and the British Army, as well as private practice.

I believe that when life confronts us with emotional pain and difficulties it is important that we don’t have to carry these burdens or struggle on our own.

A trusting relationship with the therapist or counsellor is key to receiving effective help. I therefore seek to provide a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental and supportive space in which hope can grow and we can explore positive ways forward.

It can be daunting to consider reaching out for help, especially when we have managed on our own for – what seems like – forever. Perhaps we think, or are told, that we should be able sort ourselves out, but that’s a lot easier said than done.

The Way I Work

As an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor I draw from a range of approaches, tailoring them to suit your individual needs. You set the pace and direction as we work collaboratively towards your goals.

I am able to work both long and short term and with a more solution-focused outlook.

For me CRM (The Comprehensive Resource Model) is a particularly effective and safe method for working with trauma, both for more recent one-off events as well as long-term, historical relational trauma sometimes experienced in childhood or long-term relationships that may have occurred in an almost un-noticed, accumulative manner, often over many years, leaving behind invisible injuries to self-worth, anxiety disorders and sometimes addictions.

In Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling we seek to connect again with those lost parts of ourselves so that once more our life energy can flow unhindered and we can live a richer fuller life as whole people.
