SERVICES
ADULTS
Therapy is a collaboration, a space for making sense of life experiences, discovery of who we truly are, and developing our ability to see a meaningful future. All treatment is individually conceptualised and planned to your needs. I provide evidence-based therapy, with an approach aimed to reduce distress and improve daily psychological well-being and functioning.
I am experienced in working with a wide range of psychological challenges including:
I offer evidence-based treatments such as EMDR Therapy, EMDR 2.0, Schema Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention, Mindfulness-based CBT, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Parts Work based on the structural dissociation model, polyvagal therapy techniques & more.
CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS
Children and teens can have different struggles across their development. I work at understanding the needs and concerns of each individual child and teen, within their family and social world. I conceptualise how children have come to interpret, feel, behave and relate in the way they do, and use a wide range of evidence-based theories and modalities to plan a treatment to meet their psychological, emotional, relational, and developmental needs.
I am experienced in working with a wide range of psychological difficulties including:
Evidence-based approaches include EMDR Therapy, Parts Work Therapy, CBT, Exposure and Response Prevention, Trauma-Focused CBT, attachment & polyvagal therapy techniques.

PARTS WORK AND EMDR THERAPY
A parts-based approach is based on the idea that we all have different sides or "parts" of ourselves that develop through our life experiences, particularly those that have been difficult or overwhelming.
For example, you might notice a part that tries to keep everyone happy, a part that is highly self-critical, a part that becomes angry to protect you, or a part that carries deep hurt or sadness. These parts usually develop for good reasons and are often trying to protect us, even when they create difficulties in our lives today.
Understanding these parts can help make sense of why we think, feel, react, and relate to others in certain ways. Rather than fighting against these parts, we learn to understand them with curiosity and compassion.
When combined with EMDR therapy, this approach helps create a greater sense of safety before processing difficult memories. It allows the parts carrying pain, fear, or protective roles to feel understood and supported, making it easier to process difficult memories without becoming overwhelmed.
The result is greater self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, less inner conflict, and a stronger, more connected sense of self. This approach aims to create meaningful, lasting change by addressing the underlying patterns that keep people feeling stuck.
Because this approach addresses the underlying processes that contribute to many mental health difficulties, it can be helpful for a wide range of concerns, including PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, low self-worth, difficulties with emotional regulation and relationships, and other long-standing patterns that no longer serve you.
