What do I do?
I began my therapeutic practice in 2003. My initial academic training was in law. It took time to recognise that this was not the path I wished to follow, and longer still to discover what was. That process of searching has informed my work ever since.
In therapy, I support clients in processes of discovery and change.
Psychological distress often emerges when the demands of a situation exceed a person’s current coping capacity — whether through intensity, severity or duration. When overwhelmed, people can lose access to their internal resources.
My role — whether working with individuals, couples, families or groups — is to help restore access to those resources: personal experience, knowledge, resilience and skills. From there, we build new capacities.
My professional background integrates psychology, systemic family psychotherapy and EMDR.
I am accredited by the (Non-Violent Resistance) for families; Facilitator, Coordinator, and Supervisor supporting families facing child-to-parent violence and self-destructive behaviour.
Alongside evidence-based mainstream approaches, I draw on carefully selected integrative methods, including Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Time Line Therapy™, Focusing, and mindfulness-based approaches for anxiety and depression.
My work also includes:
- Brief Solution Focused Therapy
- Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT)
- Mentalisation-Based Therapy (MBT) for parents and for children
- The Non-Violent Resistance Programme (including foundation-level training)
Areas of clinical experience include:
- Relationship difficulties (partners, children, extended family)
- Trauma, including intergenerational trauma
- Depression and anxiety
- Addiction
- Grief and loss
- ADHD, ASD, OCD, phobias
- Self-harm
- Child-to-parent violence
