I have over 10 years experience as a psychodynamic psychotherapist. This therapeutic approach aims to explores how unconscious thoughts and past experiences shape current behaviour. By understanding these underlying patterns, you can gain deep insight into your emotional struggles and develop healthier ways of relating to yourself and others. I am an EMDR therapist, this effective and NHS-approved treatment for symptoms of PTSD can treat a range of issues; these include phobias, burnout, post-birth trauma, sexual trauma and HIV and STI related stigma.

I am a warm and compassionate psychotherapist and EMDR therapist based in Hove. I gained an MSc from the Birkbeck University in London in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy in 2015. I am also trained as an EMDR (Eye Movement and Desensitisation Reprocessing) therapist, which is the NHS recommended treatment for symptoms of trauma. I firmly believe the combination of talking therapy and somatic processing (treating our nervous systems) can help my clients achieve the changes they want. Helping clients integrate their difficulties and trauma to find peace and acceptance is my passion. As a Nurse and Sexual health adviser for over 18 years in both London and Brighton, I have experience of diagnosing people with HIV, STI's. I have the sensitivity to hold those who have experienced sexual trauma, domestic/relationship abuse as well as distress from burnout. Throughout my career as an NHS sexual health expert and a Psychotherapist I have extensive experience of working with those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, intersex and non-binary and those who might be wanting a space to explore their identity and/or sexuality as well as supporting people through their transition. I am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), an EMDR-trained therapist, and am also registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).
