About me

I am an accredited Cognitive Behaviour Therapist, and an accredited EMDR clinician . I have worked in NHS primary care settings since 2009. My various qualifications, clinical expertise and experience with a diverse age range mean I can offer evidence-based psychological therapies to clients experiencing a range of complex mental health problems. I have a collaborative approach and have developed over the years a cultural competence that has stood me in good stead when working with the diversity of clients accessing primary care.I consider myself to be a highly reflective practitioner and I have often guided my training requirements based on what has come out of my own reflections. I have continually evaluated my own effectiveness as a clinician based on my outcome measures, feedback from my clients and through supervision.I am governed by the ethical guidelines of the BABCP and UK/Ireland EMDR Association. I have an understanding that clients with long-term mental health problems are often more likely to be socially isolated, stigmatised and marginalised. This has particularly been relevant in my work with Older Adults and young people.I am also a volunteer EMDr Clinician for the Trauma Response Network.
