With over 25 years working as a therapist in both in the UK and internationally, and my knowledge as a general nurse and midwife (retired,  I bring a wealth of experience, flexibility and knowledge to work with my clients.

 

I trained as an Integrative Counsellor and then qualified as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT) and I'm also an EMDR practitioner and work integrativly with my clients, using the therapeutic tools and strategies that work best for their needs. Currently I am completing my work in Psychoanalytical Jungian Sandplay (which takes about 8 years!).

​

I work with a wide range of mental health disorders but have a particular interest, expertise and knowledge in those who experience difficulties due to their neuro-divergency. I believe my experience as a retired  general nurse and midwife gives depth to my practice. I have worked extensively in areas of trauma and in addressing extremely sensitive issues such as addictions, depression, anxiety, PTSD, rape and sexual abuse, and in living with personality disorders.

 

I'm a friendly and appropriately humorous therapist, which leads to strong productive therapeutic bonds with my clients. This also contributes in creating a safe, trusting and often fun and encouraging environment for change and optimism.  

 

I recognise  that 'one size' does not necessarily 'fit all'. All clients are unique individuals and the therapy applied in my sessions is tailored to suit what brings clients to these sessions in the first place, and the aim is we work collaboratively and safely together.
