Find a CRM™ Therapist

I work with clients who either have mild issues or suffer from prolonged mental health, relationship issues, multiple diagnoses and addictions. I have thousands of hours of clinical practice working in various settings that include short and long term work. As a therapist specialising in couple and trauma therapy I also provide individual/group supervision, study groups, mentoring, consultations to organisations and organise/facilitate CRM trainings in the UK.

Each of us is a unique individual so every session is adapted to the person’s needs by integrating various and creaive styles of therapy. My non-judgemental, respectful and confidential environment with emphasis on deep empathy and honesty, hopefully will allow you to feel safe and address various fears. I see myself as a challenging, flexible and grounded therapist who has a wealth of experience and the clients’ best interest at heart. Together we can explore your thoughts, feelings and physical sensations that underpin patterns of behaviour that you didn’t like or may even have been consciously aware of.

Hello, I live in Scotland and can offer an audio-visual service if you feel that we could work together.

My career as a Mental/Health Practitioner includes 20 years as an Occupational Therapist in the NHS. This has given me a para-medical background and a profound acceptance that we cannot separate the mind and body.

My post-grad training in Person Centred Counselling and Psychotherapy started in 2010. I have continued to learn and grow. My work is informed by evidenced-based neuroscience and current research on the advances in psychotherapy approaches and treatments.

I believe that all therapy should be bespoke and individualised. At the end of the day, it’s about you and your need whether it’s:-

• Counselling  –  seeking counsel for something quite specific.
• Life Coaching –  to talk through a decision or a crossroad you are facing.
• Psychotherapy – a CRM journey of healing and recovery from past events. 90min
• Supervision –  for mental health practitioners, counsellors, psychotherapists (COSCA Supervision Cert)

I am an advocate of somatic psychotherapy. This means that it’s more than just a talking therapy.

The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) allows the brain and body to establish a physiological state of sufficient safety in order to create a new window of emotional tolerance. This has proven very effective for trauma, addictions, eating disorders, phobias and severe anxiety issues.

You set the pace but together, we build your inner resources to work through the protective layers that have usually taken years to build. Layers that have protected you but also, possibly, stopped the ’truth’ being brought into the light to allow for re-membering, re-framing, re-consolidation, and re-integration.

What happens next?

Once you have made contact through email: sltherapies@outlook.com

we’ll arrange a free 20-minute online conversation through Microsoft Teams or Signal.

This will give you a chance to decide if you want to work together.

If we decide to go ahead, I will send you some paperwork to complete and my payment details.

… and that’s it!

I have extensive experience of working with complex individuals within Mental Health Services (NHS), Forensic settings (both statutory and voluntary organizations.)

I am also a clinical supervisor and trainer at Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute in Nottingham.

I work relationally and have recently started (past year) working with the CRM with much success, I have also engaged in my own CRM work which has moved me progressively much further forward than any other psychotherapeutic model I’ve engaged in. (Amazing Model)
