How I Can Help You
I offer a range of services for individuals seeking therapy, practitioners looking for clinical supervision, and organisations wanting professional training. Explore each service below to find what’s right for you.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing
EMDR is a structured psychotherapy endorsed by the World Health Organisation and the NHS as a first-line treatment for PTSD. It helps the brain process and integrate distressing memories so they lose their power to cause distress.
The treatment works through bilateral stimulation — most often eye movements — which appears to mimic what happens during REM sleep. By pairing the traumatic memory with this rhythmic left-right stimulation, the brain can process the memory so it moves into ordinary long-term storage, stripped of its emotional charge.
For many people, EMDR offers something distinctive: the ability to process deeply painful memories without having to talk through them in exhaustive detail — making it particularly appealing for those who find traditional talking therapies difficult.

Counselling
For children, young people and adults
Counselling offers a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Unlike more structured therapies, counselling is flexible and person-centred — you set the agenda, and we work at your pace.
I draw on a range of approaches including person-centred, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioural, and integrative methods — tailoring the work to what you actually need. Research consistently shows that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of positive outcomes, often more so than the specific method used.
Counselling doesn’t require a formal diagnosis or crisis to justify seeking it. One of its great strengths is its accessibility — it meets you wherever you are.
Clinical Supervision
For EMDR practitioners and counsellors
Clinical supervision is a dedicated space to slow down, examine what is happening in the therapy room, and ensure you are working safely, ethically and effectively. It is reflective practice with a guide — not line management or mentoring.
As an EMDR Europe Accredited Consultant, I offer specialist EMDR supervision covering protocol application, bilateral stimulation technique, managing incomplete processing, and countertransference in trauma work. For counsellors, I provide support with complex relational dynamics, ethical dilemmas, and professional development.
Supervision is built around three core functions: formative (developing your skills), restorative (processing the emotional weight of the work), and normative (ensuring safe, ethical practice). I offer both individual and group supervision.

Training & Workshops
For schools, organisations and professionals
I deliver professional training and workshops both online and in person, drawing on my experience as a Facilitator at Leeds Beckett University’s Carnegie School of Education.
My training covers reflective supervision, peer-to-peer supervision, and child and adolescent mental health — designed for school staff, leadership teams, safeguarding leads, and other professionals working with children and young people.
All training can be tailored to your organisation’s specific needs and context. Whether you’re looking for a one-off workshop, a series of sessions, or an ongoing programme, I work with you to design something that makes a real difference.
Not Sure Which Service Is Right for You?
That’s completely fine — many people aren’t sure when they first reach out. I offer a free initial consultation where we can talk through what you’re experiencing and find the best way forward together. All enquiries are confidential.
