Available online or in-person
I am a fully qualified Psychotherapist with over 15 years experience.
My practice is based in Peterborough, and all my services are available online.
At some point in their life, many people will feel out out of control, angry, anxious, depressed and unable to cope with demanding relationships and work. Seeking Psychotherapy can be the best way to find a way back.
I know how difficult it can be to reach out for support and how important it is to find the right professional to help.
This website explains how I practice, and what informs my approach and my qualifications.

Compassion and common sense are at the heart of my practice. I work in a very 'human' way and fundamental to my practice is the development of a strong treatment relationship - as without a sense of connection and psychological contact between us there can be no therapy. No issue is trivial, and no issue is too great or too small.
Finding the right fit between client and therapist, as well as between client and treatment approach is very important. Our first session will give us the opportunity to explore what you hope to get from counselling and assess our suitability to work together.

How I work
I am an accredited EMDR UK and Europe Accredited Practitioner.
Talking therapies can be rewarding, however, a focussed approach such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing) is often experienced as more effective and satisfying.
Trauma is often misunderstood, ignored and denied; in the aftermath of the most painful assaults to our humanity individuals are left isolated, untreated and suffering.
Many events can be traumatising and may cause traumatic reactions (sometimes years after the event), examples of these include sexual, physical and emotional abuse, combat, witnessing violence, bullying, medical procedures, falls, accidents, bereavement, natural disasters, and neglectful relationships.
I always work in the strictest confidence, in accordance with the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice and the UKCP Code of Ethics and do so with respect, compassion and empathy.
