My Background

How I work

I work online via Zoom. Each session is individually tailored to meet the client's needs.

Usually clients make initial contact for a chat via email or phone. If you choose to explore working with me, we start with an  initial assessment session. This will have the ususal session length of 1.5 hours and is charged at the ususal session fee. This gives us the opportunity to meet and experience what working together feels like, it gives us the time to explore what brings you to therapy, what expectations you might have and you can ask questions you may have about the work. Should we decide to commence therapy, I will send you my terms of business and we will agree on a time and frequency for your sessions.

I look forward to working with you and helping you Thrive Beyond Trauma.

I hold an M.A. in Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapy and a Ph.D. in natural sciences. Since starting in private practice in 2008, I incorporated elements from Gestalt therapy as well as mindfulness into my work. In 2020 I began working for the Oxford Development Centre specialising in the treatment of Trauma. I have subsequently trained with Lisa Schwartz in the Comprehensive Resource Model (CMR), with Janina Fisher in Trauma Informed Stabilisation Treatment (TIST) and Michael Paterson in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).
