what's therapy like?

I take a down-to-earth, kind, and compassionate approach. Therapy moves at your pace and is shaped by what you need. I use methods like CBT, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR to help people work through patterns that hold them back. Sensitive issues are always met with understanding and respect.

cognitive behavioural therapy

CBT is a practical, evidence-based therapy which helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings and emotions are connected. Together we'll build tools to break unhelpful patterns to make space for the life you want to lead.

internal family systems

IFS is a gentle, curious approach which helps you understand different parts of yourself, such as inner critics, managers and wounded parts.

emdr

EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that can help people heal from distressing and traumatic experiences, as well as phobias, insomnia and addictions.

psychedelic integration

I offer a supportive space to explore and make sense of psychedelic experiences, helping you integrate insights into everyday life.

group trauma therapy

Group EMDR (G-TEP) is a structured, evidence-based approach that supports teams and groups, as well as families and couples, to process challenging or traumatic events, reducing distress, strengthening resilience, and promoting recovery in the aftermath of critical incidents.This method can be particularly valuable for organisations such as the NHS, Fire Service, Police, universities, and other public services facing burnout, a loss, traumas, or major challenges.Please contact me to discuss individualised packages to support.
