I am a Bristol (UK) based psychotherapist. I provide Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and third wave approaches (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and Compassion Focussed Therapy) to a range of different problems including depression, complex grief, anxiety, and adjustment/management of physical health conditions e.g. chronic pain & fatigue. I have a specialist interest, and significant experience, working with trauma & PTSD, including trauma & physical health links. As well as private work, I work in the NHS in an acute hospital setting with patients who have surgery complications and provide clinical supervision to other Psychotherapists & Psychologists. I have worked in the NHS for over 1years in a range of services. I work closely with Pain Consultants and Urogynae/Colorectal Surgeons both privately and in the NHS, and provide psychological assessment & formulations, as well as support patients with complex decision making e.g. around pelvic mesh removal surgery.
I am a passionate EMDR Europe Accredited Clinical Supervisor/Consultant and a member of EMDR UK & Ireland. I enjoy supporting colleagues to become EMDR accredited practitioners. For more information about EMDR see here. I am also an accredited member of the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) and follow their ethical guidelines.
