I offer TFT (Trauma Focused Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), CFT (Compassion Focused Therapy) and EMDR.
I work with Current and Ex Emergency Services staff. I am ex Emergency Services. I am a very experienced Psychotherapist and have helped a vast amount of Emergency Services clients over the years. Are you stressed with Protocols, Procedures, Pressure? Time restraints? Lack of staff? Therapy is about listening to your needs, issues and your goals for therapy. Maybe you don't know what to deal with because you are so overwhelmed and exhausted with numerous issues. Or you may know what you want but you are too embarrassed to seek help. I can help you focus on the most important issue, which will start you on your road to recovery.

I work with adults, children and young people. Seeking psychological therapy can be a daunting task and my aim is to develop a trusting relationship where you feel able to explore troubling issues or experiences. The starting point is always what you would like to gain or achieve from therapy, followed by identifying, with you, the best ways of working towards your goals. Whilst I work primarily using trauma focused therapy, I have a breadth of experience and I draw on a wide range of approaches, depending on your needs and preferences.

Sometimes the world seems complicated and life feels difficult. Maybe problematic relationships have stopped you trusting yourself and moving forward, or past traumatic experiences keep you stuck with anxiety and fear.

I seek to support people to find a way to through problems, to grow and make changes in theirs lives and relationships, and feel more resilient in tough times, as well as being more able to appreciate and enjoy achievements.
