About me

I have worked as a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist for a number of years in primary and secondary care within the NHS Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Foundation Trust. I have also run group therapy CBT courses with the Cambridge Group Therapy Centre and I have trained with and previously worked as a volunteer therapist with Choices, supporting men and women who have experienced childhood sexual abuse.

I have experience of working with a wide range of anxiety and mood disorders. I have particular therapeutic interests in trauma (including complex trauma), moral injury, PTSD,  insomnia and helping people to become less passive in their thinking and behaviour.  The cognitive behavioural therapy that I use is influenced by Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focused therapy as well as by Schema-Focused and Narrative Therapies.

I am trained in the use of EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) for appropriate trauma cases and I have recently incorporated Attachment-Informed EMDR which adapts the standard EMDR model to help with current problems that may have their origins in traumatic events experienced in early childhood.  EMDR works well as part of online treatment.
 

I practice within the codes of ethical and professional practice of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).
