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 via email or phone and we schedule a free chat on zoom. If you then 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, duration 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. Starting in private practice as a trainee Psychotherapist in 2008, I was priviledged to do placements at Womakind in Bristol and within the NHS. I graduated in 2015 and since then have been a member of and accredited by the UKCP. In 2020 I began working for the Oxford Development Centre specialising in the treatment of Trauma. I continously learn and develop and since 2020 have for example 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).
