Please get in touch to discuss session availability.

I'm an accredited Psychotherapist and an EMDR Therapist working with adults who are looking for a safe and confidential space to think and feel, and explore your experiences and difficulties together. This could be issues around anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD/CPTSD, bereavement, abuse, relationships, identity or low self-esteem -  nothing is too big or too small.

Therapy Is A Time For You. Perhaps you’re struggling with difficult feelings or traumatic events, stuck in old patterns of behaviour, dealing with life-changing situations, or battling with negative emotions and behaviours...  therapy is a space for you to think, to feel and to explore. At the core of this is the relationship between you and your therapist; helping you to make sense of it and in doing so support you in finding a possible way forward. 

Why Me? I'm an experienced psychotherapist and EMDR therapist and my ethos is promoting an honest and reliable relationship in which you can talk freely, share your thoughts, difficulties, experiences at the pace you wish. I offer a collaborative space where we can work together using a psychodynamic approach and/or EMDR to process challenges, reduce emotional distress and support greater insight and understanding.  

Because one size never fits all, I will support you on your unique personal journey, offering a warm and non judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, thoughtfully supported, and able to work through your difficulties. 

I am an Accredited Member of the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø and I work to the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø’s standards of Good Practice and abide by their Code of Ethics. 

My approach is mainly psychodynamic which means that I will work with you to help you make links between your present difficulties and past experiences, however I also draw on other modalities ensuring we work together in way that feels right for you.  Alongside this, I offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy which is an effective psychotherapy method helping to treat difficulties arising from Trauma (such as assault, sexual/physical/emotional abuse, complicated grief, child neglect, accidents) and PTSD/CPTSD. EMDR is also effective in treating a wide range of symptoms and disorders such as anxiety, depression, phobias, self-esteem and performance issues.

Together we'll make sense of your feelings and challenges, help you achieve insight, and in turn facilitate positive change, self-awareness and a capacity to cope with present and future difficulties.

My work is based on integrity and compassion and I will work with whatever you choose to bring to your therapy sessions. Nothing is too big or too small, all your feelings matter.

I offer face-to-face and video sessions.

Whether you’re certain you’d like to start therapy or still left wondering about it or indeed if I’m the right therapist for you, why not get in touch for an initial consultation to find out.

The initial consultation is free of charge and a chance for you to tell me a bit about yourself and why you’re seeking therapy at this time. It's also a chance for you to find out about how we would work together and ask me any questions you may have. The initial consultation is via Zoom or telephone.

Following our initial consultation, if you decide you would like to work together, then we will agree a suitable time and day each week. Sessions take place face-to-face at my premises in St Albans, or remotely via Zoom.
