About me and my therapy practice
Thank you for visiting this page. Today's message is this: whatever worries or anxieties you may be experiencing, please remember that you are greater than your thoughts and feelings. Simply allowing yourself to be present with all parts of yourself—without judgment or resistance—is the first step toward healing. And most importantly, you do not have to face your fears alone.
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am a qualified EMDR trauma and relationship therapist with extensive experience working in both the charity sector in London, including the refuge for people with chronic suicidal thoughts and experiences, and the NHS Talking Therapies. Currently, I work in the NHS as a psychotherapist supporting individuals and couples who are facing the life-changing diagnosis of cancer. In my private practice, I focus on treating PTSD, childhood trauma and couples therapy.
In therapy, you will have the opportunity to embark on a journey of personal growth and self-discovery. The starting point will be learning mindfulness and self-compassion. Some other things that might be useful are learning about attachment styles, dysfunctional patterns and unconscious behaviours that impact you and your relationships.
I recommend EMDR because it is an integrative approach which absorbed the best parts of major therapeutic schools. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy practised over the last forty years, which produces fast and lasting changes not only in healing psychological trauma, but also if you suffer from depression, anxiety and OCD. I can help you navigate the complexities of trauma and relationships safely and effectively, whilst being fully present and available to listening to your feelings and concerns.
I have a background in nursing and midwifery. People find me approachable and easy to talk to.
Practice description
My approach to couples therapy is based on Imago Therapy Model, Developmental Model and the trauma-focused approach. EMDR is a unique take on couples' work, especially useful if one or both partners have attachment issues, childhood trauma and mental health issues. On average, each person goes through three significant relationships in their lifetime. We have a choice to stop chasing perfection and reinvent our relationships.- Conflict
- lack of support
- betrayal of trust and affairs
- relationship crises
- poor communication
- separation and endings
- unfulfilling relationship
The root cause of unconscious defensive behaviours that create rupture in relationships, such as stonewalling, anxious rumination, fighting for your needs, angry escalation and avoidance, is childhood and past relational traumas. EMDR and attachment-based interventions are effective in creating lasting positive changes, allowing both partners to bring out the best in each other. Additionally, through coaching, you will be given tools to express your deepest emotions, advocate for yourself, and learn new ways to communicate.
The stages of Couples therapy are:
*assessment and goal setting
* identifying the developmental stage in a relationship where you are stuck, and the relationship type
* understanding how your history contributes to relationship problems today, and exploring your attachment style
* addressing differences and unresolved conflicts
*working through relational and individual trauma
