I am a chartered clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, highly skilled and with more than 20 years of experience. I have worked in different specialised in- and outpatient clinics as well as within the private sector.

 

Since 2019 I focus entirely on my private practice, where I specialise on an emotion-focused approach to more complex presentations, often including the impact of complex trauma. Most of my patients benefit from a combination of 'hands-on' CBT strategies, experiential Emotion Focused Therapy and neuroscience-based EMDR. I enjoy working with clients who struggle with their feelings - mood swings, too much or too little emotion, often leading to relationship problems or somatic symptoms. 

​

Being able to learn about other people in depth is a great privilege of my job. I am curious to unravel the layers of a problem and find ways of helping my clients to help themselves.  Therapy is a process, a journey you start on together, not knowing what you might encounter. We will use methods that help the process to get more intense, to help the emotions to show up, to bring problematic feelings into the therapy room, so we can look at them and find out, what they want to tell us and eventually, what could be done to make those feelings change. Or we might start working on certain symptoms that make daily life stressful and continuously lower your self-esteem.

Since 2018 I share my rooms with my colleague Josie Geddes, who is an  experienced NHS CBT and EMDR therapist, a psychodynamic counsellor and an expert for all forms of addiction.
