I work collaboratively with you to understand your unique challenges and needs, developing a tailored treatment plan to help you achieve your therapy goals. I bring experience in a variety of therapeutic modalities, including:

• EMDR
• Schema Therapy
• Ego State Therapy
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

I integrate these therapeutic approaches within the framework of EMDR to address your individual needs and circumstances, supporting you in processing past trauma and difficult experiences. My aim is to help you build a stronger sense of self, while boosting your confidence and self-esteem.

As a member of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation (ISSTD), I adhere to their recommended phased treatment approach, which includes:

1. Establishing safety, stabilisation, and symptom reduction
2. Addressing traumatic memories
3. Developing a more coherent, collaborative, and continuous sense of self

While this approach is structured, it remains flexible and adaptable. We revisit phases as needed throughout the treatment process, tailored to your individual needs and circumstances. Additionally, I am highly skilled in modifying and adapting EMDR to suit complex trauma presentations, ensuring that trauma processing occurs in a safe, gradual manner that supports the body-mind's natural healing capacity.

I work with individuals aged 17 and older. Having received formal training in Family Therapy during my Clinical Doctorate, I recognise that younger adolescents benefit most from a systemic approach. For this reason, I refer younger clients to specialised family therapists who are better equipped to support this age group.
