Welcome,

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. 
​

I work using evidence based psychotherapeutic models which I hold professional qualifications in: 

Internal Family Systems (IFS) Psychotherapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR),
Attachment informed (ai) EMDR
Art Psychotherapy MA (regulated by HCPC).

Using these complimentary 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.

We can recognise that we need to turn attention within us when we experience things such as:

​

• Depression

• Irritability

• Decreased interest

• Decreased concentration

• Insomnia

• Numbness

• Nervous system dysregulation 

• Hopelessness about the future

• Self loathing/shame

• Nightmares/flashbacks

• Hypervigilance

• Mistrust

• Social anxiety

• Panic attacks

• Paranoia

• Chronic pain

• Chronic health conditions

• Suicidality and self harm

• Addictions

• Anxiety

I view the above list 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", "non-judgmental", and that I actively help people to feel "safe" in my presence. Therapeutic relationship is core to the effectiveness of any therapy you invest in. I invite you to explore my website and to contact me for a free 20 minute conversation to see if I may be the right therapist for you.

It's very hard to tell from reading a website!

I work internationally online and face to face from my home near Ashburton, Devon, England.
