I am a specialist trauma psychotherapist and counsellor. I have extensive experience of working with people experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, depression, trauma and PTSD related issues such as flashbacks.During my time as an intensive care nurse in the NHS, I developed an interest in supporting people following their survival of a critical illness which led me to re-train as a counsellor. Since then, I have worked closely with NHS staff, patients and family members, developing my speciality in trauma therapy, undertaking research and setting up new services.I also have experience of working in private practice, offering both long & short term work in person and online.My original counselling training was a Masters in person centred & psychodynamic approaches. Since then I have undertaken more embodied 'bottom up' trauma approaches such as CRM, IFS & SE. I can offer self regulation and grounding techniques to manage some of the physical symptoms you may be experiencing.
