The Way I Work

I work from an integrative perspective which enables me to work creatively using different approaches which will provide you with a service which is individually suited to your needs.

My experiences as a nurse along with an understanding of the  emotional and psychological parts of a person, has enabled me to  acknowledge the complex connections between mind and body, and integrate this in my work.

I an committed to a collaborative approach and belong to  a group of psychotherapists who work and train together on a regular basis, and who use their combined experiences to provide the best possible service to clients

EMDR

I am particularly interested in trauma  and use my training in EMDR when working  with clients experiencing post traumatic stress symptoms.  EMDR is recommended treatment for trauma by NICE (the National Institute for Clinical Excellence).  EMDR is also helpful with other difficulties – for further information, go to links.

I have experience in CBT which is also a treatment of choice, along with counselling for depression (NICE).

I have experience in working with people suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and would use as part of my approach a CBT programme –which again is the treatment of choice recommended by NICE.
