My doctoral training at the University of Surrey and ongoing supervision accreditation ensure evidence-based, adaptive therapy. I collaborate with clients to develop personalised strategies, fostering resilience and adaptive coping mechanisms.Publications in peer-reviewed journals and contributions to professional handbooks reflect my commitment to advancing therapeutic practices. Sessions are held at The Therapy Space in Frome, with flexible appointment options available. Confidentiality and ethical practice are central to my work, adhering to HCPC and British Psychological Society standards. Supervision services for therapists are also offered, combining clinical expertise with professional development.

Services
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and modify negative thought patterns and behaviours. This structured approach is effective for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Sessions focus on developing practical coping strategies tailored to individual needs.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) addresses trauma and PTSD by processing distressing memories. This evidence-based therapy reduces emotional distress and fosters adaptive resolution. Sessions integrate bilateral stimulation to enhance cognitive reprocessing.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy explores unconscious patterns influencing current behaviour. This long-term approach deepens self-awareness and resolves internal conflicts. Sessions focus on relational dynamics and early life experiences to promote emotional growth.
Supervision Services
Supervision Services support therapists' professional development and ethical practice. Sessions provide reflective space for case discussion and skill enhancement. Tailored supervision aligns with EMDR Europe and BPS standards for accredited practitioners.
Person-Centred Therapy
Person-Centred Therapy prioritises clients' self-discovery in a non-judgmental environment. This approach fosters personal growth through empathetic listening and unconditional support. Sessions empower clients to navigate challenges at their own pace.
