My Approach.

Everyone is unique and the right therapy for you may include a range of models and techniques, based on your personal goals for therapy and the life events which have brought you here. As a Clinical Psychologist I am able to use a number of therapeutic approaches to ensure that therapy is tailored to you.

At the start of our work we will focus on gaining a good shared understanding of your life, your strengths, difficulties and the traumas an adversities you have lived through. We will then develop a plan for therapy.

All work is guided by evidence-based models.

Approaches -

• EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)

• CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy)

• Compassion Focussed Therapy

• Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET)

• DBT Skills

• Cognitive Analytic Therapy(CAT)-informed work

I can provide assessment, formulation and therapy for people experiencing a range of difficulties, where you feel they have their roots in the trauma and adversity you have survived, including:

• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

• Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD)

• Depression and low mood

• Anxiety and worry

• Relationship difficulties - Noticing that you tend to develop the same kinds of relationships (e.g. ones where you appease others and are not cared for) and struggling to break out of this cycle

• Low self-esteem

• Self-critical thoughts

• Difficulties managing strong emotions

• Struggling with the strong emotions evoked by parenting your own children
