About me and my therapy practice
As a Cognitive Analytic Therapist (CAT) and EMDR practitioner, I provide a tailored, integrative approach to therapy that helps you understand and change patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Through CAT, we explore how past experiences shape your current relationships and difficulties, identifying patterns that may be holding you back. With EMDR, I offer a powerful technique to process trauma and emotional distress by targeting painful memories, helping you release their emotional hold.
Together, we will work collaboratively, focusing on your individual needs to foster self-awareness, healing, and lasting change. My aim is to create a safe, compassionate space where you feel supported on your path to emotional well-being.
I also have completed post-graduate training in Low intensity CBT.
I have over 15 years experience working in the NHS.
Practice description
I currently offer online sessions via Zoom. Whether you’re seeking short-term therapy to address a specific issue or prefer longer-term support for deeper exploration and sustained change, I tailor our work together to your personal goals.
My first session
I offer a free 15 minute taster session. This is an opportunity for us to meet online to discuss what you would like help for and for us to decide if we would like to work together.
After this, we can then arrange your first online session via Zoom. Sessions are 50 minutes long. At this session, I will explore with you in more detail your current difficulties and your childhood experience as well as agree specific goals we can work towards in therapy.
