I believe that, due to the unrelenting pressures of the world we live in and the way our brains have evolved, everyone can find life difficult sometimes. It is easy for our minds to appear to work against us; getting stuck in loops of painful thoughts and feelings. This can result in depression, anxiety and difficulties with relationships. People who have experienced significant distress, trauma or hurt in life can also, not surprisingly, experience significant difficulties where memories come to haunt us and send us back to previous pain. I hope to help people life the life they want to live, with some sense of agency over pain.
As a Clinical Psychologist I have extensive experience working within the NHS and Social care settings with adults and children/ young people. I am trained in a variety of evidence based therapy models such as CBT, ACT, CFT, DBT, EMDR and work with a systemic focus. I specialise in trauma and attachment difficulties.
If you feel as if some support with difficult/ painful thoughts and feelings would be beneficial for you, I would suggest an initial appointment to develop an individualised understanding of how things are and make a plan for how ongoing therapy may work. I aim to provide a warm, empathic and non judgemental space where we work collaboratively.
