Evidence-based.
Always personal.

I am a certified EMDR practitioner. EMDR is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess memories and experiences that have become stuck — particularly traumatic ones that continue to affect how you feel and function in the present.

Unlike talking therapies, EMDR does not require you to describe traumatic events in detail. Instead, it uses bilateral stimulation — typically guided eye movements — to help the brain process difficult memories in a way that reduces their emotional charge.

EMDR is one of the most rigorously researched therapies available. It is endorsed by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the NHS, and the American Psychological Association as a first-line treatment for PTSD and trauma.

CBT is the most extensively researched psychological therapy in the world. It works by examining the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — helping you identify unhelpful patterns and build more effective ways of responding to challenges.

In practice, CBT is collaborative and structured. We work together to understand the specific thoughts and behaviours maintaining your difficulties, and I support you in testing and changing them in real life — not just in the session room.

CBT is effective for a wide range of presentations including anxiety, depression, OCD, health anxiety, and panic. It tends to be time-limited and goal-focused, making it well suited for people who want to see clear progress.

ACT is a third-wave behavioural therapy that focuses on developing psychological flexibility — the ability to engage fully with life even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present.

Rather than trying to eliminate unwanted thoughts or emotions, ACT teaches you to change your relationship with them. The goal is to stop letting difficult internal experiences control your behaviour, and instead act in line with what genuinely matters to you.

ACT is particularly useful for people who feel stuck, exhausted, or who have tried to think their way out of difficulties without sustained success. It works well alongside CBT and is especially effective for burnout, chronic anxiety, and navigating major life transitions.

Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences, unconscious patterns, and early relationships shape the way you feel and behave in the present. It is particularly suited to deeper or more longstanding difficulties where symptoms are understood as expressions of underlying emotional conflicts.

This approach tends to be less structured than CBT and more exploratory — creating space for insight and reflection at a pace that feels right. It is especially valuable for people who want to understand themselves more deeply, or who find that their difficulties recur across different relationships and contexts.

I draw on psychodynamic principles across much of my work, often in combination with other approaches where it adds depth and meaning to the process.

Drawing on my background as a brain trainer and my clinical training, I conduct standardised assessments of cognitive functioning including attention, memory, processing speed, working memory, and executive function.

These assessments are used to identify ADHD, learning differences, and cognitive strengths and difficulties in both children and adults. The outcomes include a detailed written report with practical recommendations for school, university, or workplace settings.

My experience as a brain trainer means I bring an unusually nuanced understanding of cognitive profiles — not just identifying what the assessment shows, but understanding what it means for day-to-day functioning and how it can inform therapeutic or educational planning.
