A few words about myself

I’m an integrative psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience and clients from a variety of backgrounds. I have worked within the NHS as a Psychotherapist and several private clinics, including The Priory Hospital Roehampton. I treat any issue that has a psychological component, such as anxiety, depression, unwanted habits and even chronic pain. The most common reasons people consult me are for anxiety disorders, phobias, performance anxiety and trauma. I combine CBT, Hypnotherapy, EMDR and Parts Therapy. This integrative approach can lead to a more comprehensive and transformative healing process for you.

What is CBT?

CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviours. It helps clients gain awareness of their thoughts and feelings and learn healthier coping strategies for managing challenging situations.

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is particularly effective for clients who have experienced trauma or distressing life events. It involves guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation to help process and reframe traumatic memories, reducing their emotional impact.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy uses the trance state to access the subconscious mind, where positive suggestions and behaviour changes can be introduced. It can help clients address deep-seated issues, improve self-confidence, and facilitate behavioural changes.

What is Parts Therapy?

Also known as ego-state therapy or inner-child work, parts therapy involves identifying and communicating with different aspects of the self (parts) that may have conflicting beliefs or emotions. By understanding and integrating these parts, clients can find resolution and healing.
