I specialise in working with anxiety and complex trauma. I also have experience working with depression, PTSD, agoraphobia, eating disorders, bereavement, low self esteem, panic attacks, abortion, miscarriage, bullying, pregnancy and motherhood, sexual difficulties, physical, emotional and sexual abuse and self harm. This is not an exhaustive list so please feel free to contact me to discuss whatever you are finding difficult.

I offer a safe and confidential space for you to talk about what is troubling you without fear of judgement.

By exploring this and working on this together you may feel able to make more informed choices and realise positive changes as a result of therapy.

Issues that I have work with

I primarily work from a psychodynamic perspective which is based on the idea that earlier experiences may be contributing to current difficulties. By exploring these experiences together we can gain more understanding of your present day thoughts and feelings. I also combine this with gentle techniques for balancing the body’s energy system which can relieve symptoms of anxiety, stress, trauma and other forms of psychological distress.

I am an approved TFT Therapist Practitioner having completed training in TFT Algorithms at the UK Institute of Thought Field Therapy.

I have a BSc. (Hons) in Psychology from the University of Sheffield and an MSc. in Applied Psychology from the University of Manchester.
