Who I Am and What I Do
I have worked as a counsellor and psychotherapist within the NHS in a large doctors' surgery and now exclusively in private practice. Over the years I have worked with hundreds of clients and have thousands of hours of clinical experience.
My psychotherapy training and approach is as a NeuroLinguistic psychotherapist. I have a diploma in Ericksonian hypno/psychotherapy and I have also trained and experienced in the clinical application and use of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing) for the treatment of traumas and flashbacks often diagnosed in PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and other trauma related complaints.
The psychotherapeutic approaches I use are:
- NLPt (NeuroLinguistic Psychotherapy)
- Ericksonian hypno/psychotherapy
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing)
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
- REBT (Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy)
And the Life Skills I teach are:
- NVC (Non Violent Communication)
- Cardiac Coherance
- Health, exercise & relaxation
I continue to integrate new learning into my work and do what I know to work.
I am an accredited member of the NLPtCA that sets practitioner ethical guidelines and complaints procedures, with which I comply, and a registered psychotherapist with the UKCP and an accredited therapist member of the EMDR UK and Ireland Association.
