I am a highly skilled EMDR therapist with accreditation and extensive experience in working with individuals of all ages, including adults and children. My expertise lies in providing psychological therapies that address a wide range of concerns. Throughout my practice, I prioritize the therapeutic relationship, ensuring that it remains at the core of my work. With EMDR, I have achieved positive outcomes in as little as 5 to 20 sessions.
When treating trauma, I utilize evidence-based therapies that target the root causes, allowing for deep healing. I tap into the individual's innate strength, resilience, and natural inclination towards health and well-being.
My clinical approach is person-centered, providing a supportive environment for clients. I draw upon various therapeutic modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and EMDR. This flexibility allows me to tailor my approach to suit the unique needs of each individual, rather than adhering strictly to a structured methodology.
Continual professional development is crucial to me, and I actively engage in ongoing training in the areas of attachment, neurosciences, and trauma research. This ensures that my practice remains current and informed by the latest advancements in the field.
Furthermore, my background as a senior psychiatric nurse at the South London and Maudsley Trust has further honed my skills. Working across inpatient and community settings, I have gained valuable experience in treating adults, young people, children, and perinatal services. This has equipped me with the ability to identify and provide support for individuals with serious mental illnesses.
I am dedicated to assisting individuals on their journey towards healing and well-being, and I look forward to the opportunity to support you in your path to recovery.
