EMDR is recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). EMDR is a powerful therapy that facilitates people to recover from issues that have been triggered by traumatic events. By reprocessing difficult memories, reduces distress and is especially known for treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, as well as a range of other mental health conditions and is suitable for all ages.

EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing - adults, adolescents and children
I am an EMDR practitioner, which is an evidence-base integrative psychotherapy and works effectively for PTSD, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, phobia's, pain and OCD, as well as many other mental health conditions.
EMDR therapy enables the resumption of normal information processing and integration. Specifically, EMDR addresses issues involving the past, present and future by targeting past experiences, current triggers, and future potential challenges, results in the alleviation of presenting symptoms, a decrease or elimination of distress from the disturbing memory, improved view of the self, relief from bodily disturbance, and resolution of present and future anticipated triggers.
In EMDR, specific and well-defined treatment procedures facilitate information reprocessing by utilising an approach to treatment that optimizes client stabilisation before, during, and after the reprocessing of distressing and traumatic memories and associated stimuli. The EMDR approach to psychotherapy is to facilitate the client’s innate ability to heal. Therefore, during memory reprocessing, therapist intervention is kept to the minimum necessary for the continuity of information reprocessing.
EMDR for children and adolescents (aged 9 and above)
EMDR is recognised as an effective therapy also for children and adolescents who have experienced traumatic events and PTSD by the World Health Organization, as well as by the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. It is very common for children and adolescents to feel distressed following a trauma. In most cases symptoms improve within a few weeks. A small percentage of children and adolescents will go on to develop symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as well as other symptoms such as anxiety or hopelessness. Some children and adolescents may benefit from receiving therapeutic support to recover from the trauma and EMDR is one such therapy that can help. EMDR has also shown to help children and adolescents with a range of other psychological difficulties, including anxiety and depression.
Therapy
Depression & Anxiety
Depression and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through effective counselling, I will strive to help you recover motivation and perspective, in a space where you feel safe and supported, where you have a voice to be heard and understood. Depression and anxiety can leave you feeling isolated and lonely, this can be the start of your therapeutic journey and through a collaborative process, I can help you to understand and recognise signs and find ways to support and manage your symptoms.
Play & Creative Therapy
Play is their talk and toys are their words. Early intervention with children has proven to show, that they are less likely to suffer from serious mental health issues and difficulties later in life if they receive support at an early age.
Growing evidence indicates that promoting positive mental health also improves a range of positive school outcomes, including attitudes to learning, better attendance and lower exclusion rates. I am fully trained in child safeguarding and I have Enhanced Disclosure Barring Service clearance to work with children, so little ones are in safe hands.
Addiction, Trauma, PTSD and Life Events
Many individuals can experience psychological distress following painful or traumatic events. Emotions such as anxiety, fear, and a sense of hopelessness can persist long after the event itself, often impacting daily functioning and emotional well-being. Therapy can offer a safe space to process these experiences and begin to heal. Addiction can affect individuals across all walks of life. While it may feel overwhelming, there are effective therapeutic approaches to help address the underlying causes and reduce the power of compulsive behaviours. Together, we can explore strategies that promote resilience, self-awareness, and long-term change. Life transitions such as divorce, separation, redundancy, bereavement, and relational difficulties—can feel destabilising and emotionally challenging. Whether these experiences arise in your personal or professional life, I offer a compassionate and supportive space to help you navigate these moments, reconnect with your values, and restore a sense of clarity and direction.
