About

I trained as a Humanistic Integrative therapist, a clinical supervisor and EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, and I am a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I aim to support you in exploring your issues, emotions and beliefs, and gaining insight and autonomy, so you can work towards managing both present and future challenges independently. 

I am a fully-qualified EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner. EMDR is an advanced psychotherapy which has been included in the NICE guidelines and approved by the NHS and the World Health Organisation as an effective treatment for processing traumatic memories. These may present as negative emotions, beliefs, body sensations or mental images and can contribute to a variety of mental health problems. It is an effective treatment for PTSD and can be useful if you have endured physical, sexual or emotional abuse, bullying or harassment, social humiliation, sudden loss or separation from a loved one, or experienced/witnessed a traumatic event. You can read more about this here.

I also specialise in eating disorder recovery which requires an approach grounded in specialised training. My additional training in this area comprises specialist supportive clinical management (SSCM), MANTRA and CBT-E. As a side note, I made a full recovery from bulimia, which seemed impossible to me at the time. I sometimes work alongside a registered dietitian and physiotherapist who specialise in eating disorders, wherever specialised dietary and exercise interventions are needed, and it is often necessary or helpful to be in touch with GPs. I also run a disordered eating support service within BIMM Universities (including the Institute for Contemporary Theatre, Screen and Film School, and Northern Ballet School) where students in need can access a block of 6 therapy sessions to support their recovery. Additionally, I also supervise at the Priory Hospital.

I’m passionate about helping you to:
