Welcome to my Counselling Service

Thankyou for visiting my website. Over the last fifteen years I have supported clients with a range of complex mental health difficulties, as well as support individuals in maintaining a positive mental wellbeing.

I am an EMDR Consultant/ clinical supervisor with EMDR UK, a therapy known for the treatment of PTSD.  Additionally I’m accredited with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP)I have predominately worked in charity settings and continue to support local charities such as the Jonathan Upshall Foundation.

I spent several years with Mind, in a variety of roles such as, Counsellor, Hospital Discharge Worker, and as a trainer specialising in suicide awareness and prevention. I have also worked with a national homeless charity in Newcastle called Crisis Skylight for over ten years, roles including, counsellor and Mental health Coordinator where I have been able to further my experience working with complex mental health difficulties.

As a trainer I have offered Complex trauma training, suicide intervention training, Susie Lamplugh Personal safety training, Compassion Fatigue and Secondary Traumatic stress as well as run a variety of mental health awareness-based workshops. I continue to provide training for the Jonathan Upshall Foundation.  

In the last five years I have developed my own private practice where I am able to work with a range of difficulties specialising in integrative counselling and offering EMDR therapy which focuses on Trauma. I am also working towards consultant status with EMDR UK and currently working with supervisees to help further their EMDR knowledge.

 

My specialist areas are: PTSD, Complex PTSD, Dissociation, Personality Disorders, Ego-state work (IFS therapy) and Mindfulness practice.
