ÌÇÐĹÙÍø

Hello, thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

I am ÌÇÐĹÙÍø Accredited psychotherapist, EMDR practitioner, Couples therapist and clinical supervisor with over 20 years' experience. I specialise in trauma, anxiety, health anxiety, OCD, relationship difficulties, life transitions and the impact of difficult childhood experiences.

As an EMDR practitioner, I help clients process traumatic experiences, distressing memories, health related fears, anxiety and deeply ingrained negative beliefs that may be keeping them stuck.

Many of the people I work with are outwardly coping well but inwardly feel exhausted, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves. Together we explore what has shaped you, what may be keeping you stuck and how to create a life that feels more authentic, balanced and fulfilling.

My approach combines the depth of relational therapy with practical CBT strategies and EMDR, helping you understand where patterns came from while also making meaningful changes in the present.

As we do this we heal habits such as people pleasing or co-dependancy, we understand where you may have lost your voice or disowned your feelings, identify where you may have begun to see yourself as less than and how you compare yourself negatively to others, where you have lost your trust and belief in yourself as worthy and enough. We aim to expose and disown the outdated beliefs and survival strategies, to introduce boundary setting, effective communication skills, healthy habits, kind internal dialogue and the ability to truly show up for yourself. This in turn improves your relationships with others and the experience of living your life.

Some of my special interests are working with historic abuse, complex trauma, PTSD, health anxiety, panic attacks, emotional abuse, narcissistic abuse, burnout, menopause, attachment difficulties, self-criticism, people pleasing, and relationship difficulties. Also, working with change and letting go of destructive patterns of thinking and behaving, working with life stage changes such as becoming a parent, relationships, recovering from or managing relationship with narcissists. As well as supporting neurodivergent clients with navigating anxiety, relationships, self esteem and life transitions

What happens next?.....

If you think I might be a good fit for you then book in for an introductory call where you can ask me questions and get more of an idea of how I work.

If after our call you'd like to go ahead with sessions we book in a time for our 50 minute session, either face to face at my therapy room in Farnham or on-line.

It's hard to say how many sessions may be needed so I usually suggest we check in after every 6 weeks to see how we're doing and what else needs our focus.

I am a fully qualified clinical supervisor, working with individuals or groups from an integrative perspective.

I have also had 10 years experience of training and lecturing in counselling and can offer support to student counsellors with a thorough understanding of course requirements.

I work integratively with Person Centred as my core model, integrating CBT, TA and Existential ideas.

My style of supervision is relational, encouraging growth and autonomy through challenge and teaching.

I have a strong commitment to ethical practice and encourage supervisees to develop their own evaluating process with reference to the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø ethical framework.
