About me

I am an accredited member of COSRT (AccCOSRT), Registered member of BACP MBACP (Accred), EMDR Europe Accredited Consultant, Relate and ICEEFT Certified Emotionally Focused Couple Therapist, Psychotherapist and Sex Therapist with over 20 years' experience. I have my own private practice in Bicester. I offer short or longer term therapy to heterosexual, LGBTQ individuals and couples.

I also provide clinical supervision for qualified counsellors and trainees.

My background is within the primary care setting, where I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience working with a wide range of issues including trauma, depression, anxiety and bereavement.

As an experienced integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I am qualified to use a range of approaches to fit with your specific needs. Depending on your circumstances and preferred way of working, this may involve incorporating elements of:

• Psychodynamic approach to explore how past experiences may have impacted on an individual’s actions, decisions and relationships

• Systemic Therapy to promote change by looking at how each person interacts in the couple, family and wider system

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with a focus on the present to look at learned behaviours and negative thought patterns whilst devising strategies to break the vicious cycles

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to create a shift in partners’ interactions and foster the formation of a secure bond between partners; to initiate and reinforce positive cycles of interaction through re-organising and expanding key emotional responses in partners

• Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to process traumatic memories, alleviating the impact of stress, anxiety, depression and hypervigilance so that adaptive responses can be made in the present rather than re-living the traumatic event each time a trigger experience happens

• Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT) An energy psychological approach to process and clear impacts of traumas energetically held in our body, mind, and spirit whilst awakening individual positive qualities in a holistic and gentle way. It facilitates long lasting change by getting to the root of trauma patterns so that the link between past unhealed trauma and current difficulties can be removed.
