About me

I have been working therapeutically with young people and adults since 2006. As a Person-Centred Therapist trained additionally  in Trauma-Focused CBT, Integrative approaches, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) and Advanced Somatic EMDR, I bring a depth of clinical experience to my practice. I am also a fully qualified Clinical Supervisor and hold registered membership with the BACP.

Over the years, I have held Lead Therapist and Clinical Lead roles across a variety of settings, including schools, local trauma and mental health charities, and a national therapeutic provider. I am skilled in building trusting, accepting, and safe therapeutic relationships, and I work in-depth with individuals who have experienced trauma, always through a relational and safe approach that is responsive to the specific needs of each person.

Now in my Private Practice, I understand that trauma affects the mind, body, emotions and relationships. My approach recognises that behaviour and emotional responses often reflect unmet needs and past experiences rather than choice.

I work in ways that prioritise:

·       Safety and trust

·       Relational connection

·       Emotional regulation

·       Empowerment and choice

·       Trauma and complex trauma
