How we can work together

Evidence-informed, relational therapy for trauma and related difficulties — available in person and via Microsoft Teams.

Sessions are collaborative. After an initial conversation we agree an approach that fits your goals, history and capacity. I also draw on Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills where they support emotion regulation, self-criticism, or distress tolerance.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing is an evidence-based approach for trauma, PTSD and distressing memories that continue to intrude or shape present-day reactions. As an EMDR Europe-accredited practitioner, I help you process stuck experiences safely and at a manageable pace.

Integrative psychotherapy

Longer-term or flexible therapy drawing on psychodynamic, humanistic, existential and narrative ideas. Useful when difficulties are intertwined with identity, relationships, meaning, or patterns that have developed over years.

Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT)

A focused, time-limited model that explores how recurring relationship patterns connect with depression and anxiety. DIT can be a good fit when interpersonal themes are central and a structured course of work feels right.

One-off 90-minute trauma relief

A single extended session for targeted trauma-focused work when you need intensive help with a specific experience, or want to assess whether a longer course of EMDR or psychotherapy would be useful.

In person and online

Therapy is available face-to-face in London W1S and Enfield EN3, and online via Microsoft Teams. Many people prefer a mix of formats; we can discuss what works best for you.
