I am an experienced counsellor and EMDR trauma therapist who has been supporting clients since qualifying in 2006. Over the years, I have worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds who are experiencing many different challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship difficulties.

Alongside my private practice, I have worked within the NHS since 2015 as a Senior Counsellor and Counselling Supervisor with Steps to Wellbeing. My work has included supporting clients through Employee Assistance Programmes, as well as working with adults who choose to seek therapy privately. Earlier in my career, I also worked one-to-one with young people in local schools and youth organisations.

My particular interest is in helping people who have experienced trauma. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), a therapy recommended by organisations such as NICE for the treatment of trauma and PTSD. EMDR can help people process difficult memories so that they no longer feel as overwhelming or intrusive.

As someone who also has lived experience of trauma and has personally benefited from EMDR therapy, I understand the profound emotional and physical impact trauma can have. This personal insight, alongside my professional training and many years of experience, allows me to offer a compassionate, supportive space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported in their healing journey.

My aim is to work alongside you at your own pace, helping you gain greater understanding of yourself, develop confidence, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.
