Philosophy & Vision
I provide good therapy with positive lasting outcomes for individuals, couples and children. Modern therapeutic techniques are used which facilitate the healing process. My aim is to provide a personal results-oriented service in an honest, down to to earth and supportive manner. My rooms provide a safe environment where you can deal with important issues and achieve a greater sense of confidence, control and enjoyment of life.
Background
I have worked for 25 years as a psychologist in educational settings, specialising in counselling children, families and teachers. My private practice commenced in 1991 and now occupies my time most days per week. I have specialized in work with clients with trauma, depression or anxiety. I find my work with children particularly satisfying. I am an accredited EMDR Therapy Consultant and an EMDR Institute Facilitator. A significant part of my work is in supervision of EMDR practitioners.

Therapy Approach
With a foundation in both CBT and Psychodynamic approaches, I now use EMDR to enhance the progress made. EMDR helps people cut through irrational thoughts and mental clutter and to learn to listen to their own inner wisdom. EMDR has a strong scientific evidence base in its effectiveness in working with PTSD, ASD, depression, anxiety and many other psychological disorders. EMDR is quick and effective and leads to positive personal growth.
