“For the first time I remember, I don’t feel ashamed to be me”
Welcome
Our minds and bodies are indivisible
There is increasing recognition within psychotherapy that our minds and bodies are indivisible, with our experiences held in our whole person. The approaches I use in therapy are chosen to honour and work with this unity.
Whatever has brought you here, you are welcome.
Evidence-based models I hold professional qualifications in
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
A compassionate, non-pathologising model that works with the many parts of you and the wise Self at your core.
EMDR & ai EMDR
An evidence-based trauma therapy, recommended by NICE, that changes your relationship to difficult memories.
Art Psychotherapy MA
An embodied, creative route to what is hard to put into words. Regulated by the HCPC. No artistic skill needed.
Using these complementary psychotherapy trainings I have the skills and experience to provide safe and effective therapy that both draws on your own inherent wisdom and is informed by the latest neuroscience in how we heal from events in our pasts, enabling us to live more fully in this present moment. Sometimes I work in one approach; often, with your agreement, I weave them together. You can explore all the ways I work here.
We can recognise that we need to turn attention within us when we experience things such as:
I view the above not as disorders, but as signs of how we have historically coped or are coping in the circumstances life has given us: indicators of where we are in need of attention for balance to be regained, permitting presence in the here and now.
I am said by my clients to be “warm”, “compassionate” and “non-judgmental”, and to actively help people feel “safe” in my presence. The therapeutic relationship is core to the effectiveness of any therapy you invest in.
It’s very hard to tell from reading a website! I warmly invite you to explore, and to contact me for a free 20-minute conversation to see whether I may be the right therapist for you. I work internationally online and face to face from my home near Ashburton, Devon.
