EMDR and CBT Psychotherapist, Trauma and Anxiety Specialist, Business Psychologist and Executive Coach

Most of my clients are capable people who have always managed. From the outside everything looks fine, but something isn’t working the way it used to. If you know what the problem is and you want it gone, EMDR and CBT can help. I work with trauma and anxiety, including panic attacks, fear of public speaking, OCD and excessive worry, as well as the effects of long-term work pressure, burnout and difficult workplaces.

Many of my clients have had therapy before. It helped them understand themselves better, but not much changed, or it never got to the root. One client described EMDR as taking them “out of my mental body and into my emotional body”, which is often what’s missing when you’ve understood everything and still feel the same.

People tell me the room felt calm, with “absolutely no pressure”, and that they felt “safe, heard” and able to say what they’d been holding back. They leave with techniques they can use “independently between sessions without feeling reliant”. Months after finishing, many notice how many coping habits they’d built just to get through the day, and that they no longer need them. You can read what clients say about working with me in my Google reviews.

I’m an accredited CBT therapist and an accredited EMDR therapist, and I’m also a Business Psychologist and accredited Executive Coach. I spent 20 years in the NHS, ten of them leading teams and psychology services. This included the NHS Grenfell Tower service and leading NHS staff wellbeing during the pandemic. I’ve been in private practice for nearly ten years and have delivered over 16,000 clinical hours. One client said my understanding of the theory, and how it applied to them, helped “everything fall into place”.

I offer a free 20-minute consultation phone call. If you’d like to have a chat to see how I can support you and how EMDR and CBT can help you overcome your difficulties, please get in touch and we can talk it through.
