About

I have been working as a therapist since 2004 and am fully trained and accredited as a CBT therapist (BABCP) and an EMDR practitioner (EMDR Association UK and Eire).  I am also trained in Schema Therapy and have a Stress Management Diploma. I have worked in the NHS and The Priory Hospital as well as my own private practice.

Prior to working as a therapist, I worked in the stressful world of television production as a BBC Producer/Director. I’m able to bring into my current work the communication, organisational, time and stress-management skills I used in that career. I’m a trained yoga teacher and massage practitioner and I currently combine my therapy work with my role as an Accreditation Liaison Officer at BABCP – the accrediting body of CBT therapists.

Session Times – Sessions are Monday and Tuesday daytimes – either face to face or remote.

Costs – £85.00 – self-funding clients.  I am also registered with many health insurance companies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many Sessions?

At the initial assessment, I can give you an estimate on this. CBT and EMDR are usually short term – around 10-18 sessions, Schema therapy is generally longer term – ideally around a year. If you are coming with a specific budget, we can discuss what can be achieved within that at the first session.

How Often & When Are The Sessions?

Sessions are Monday and Tuesday daytimes – either face to face or remote. The therapy works best if sessions are weekly, so if you are frequently unavailable on these days, I can help you find a therapist who works at the weekend or in the evenings. The sessions are usually more spaced out at the end.
