Experience
​
I have a particular interest in trauma, whether it is thought about as relational, attachment, developmental, intergenerational and transgenerational, complex, PTSD or CPTSD, I keep abreast of current thinking, treatments and therapeutic advancements. I have recently completed the Energy Psychotherapy post-qualification core clinical training with certification, 'Transforming Trauma', which has enhanced and enriched my practice to work safely with trauma.
I have extensive skills and experience which were developed within the NHS, the third sector and private practice settings. I am committed to providing a Service that is tolerant and respectful of difference, irrespective of race and ethnicity, culture, religion, gender, sexuality, age and disability. I have worked individually with adults who have presented in therapy with the following issues:
Anxiety, depression, dissociation, loss, abandonment, bereavement, and feelings of emptiness
Relationship attachments and intimacy difficulties
Parental narcissism and the narcissistic family system, family dysfunction, enmeshment, and estrangement
Anger, rage, shame, low self-esteem and self confidence
Gender identity, sexuality, racial and cultural identity
Neurodiversity
Addictions including, alcohol and drug misuse, sex, porn, tech, work, food, gambling and relationships
Disordered eating
Suicidality and self-harm
Borderline presentation and difficulty with affect regulation

Childhood neglect and abuse, including emotional, physical, sexual and spiritual
People living with, and recovering from, the complex and adverse impact of severe and enduring childhood trauma.
