My Approach

My approach to therapy is based on Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples. After further advanced training, I bring to my counselling practice EMDR trauma therapy techniques, which have been validated by an extensive body of research proving their effectiveness.

Originally I trained in Integrative Humanistic Counselling at the Iron Mill College in Exeter. Before starting the private practice in Newbury I gained valuable experience in two community clinics in London, where I developed skills for both an open-ended, longer form of therapy and focused, short-time counselling.

I also worked with university students, primary school children and people in the midst of a suicidal crisis at the Suicidal Respite Centre in London. As a result, I am experienced in seeing a great variety of clients presenting a wide range of issues for either 6 to 12 sessions or well over a year.

At the heart of my practice is to provide you with safe, confidential and ethical therapy based on respect, empathy and trust.

I abide by the BACP Ethical Framework – a guideline for practitioners which ties in with my personal code of ethics.
