Specialisms

Trauma both complex/developmental and PTSD
Addictions – substances including alcohol, narcotics, prescription & over-the-counter medication; behavioural/process addictions for example gambling, shopping, online gaming, relationships, hypersexuality, and more.

Since 2004 I’ve been working with individuals, couples, families and groups as a psychotherapist. I have a developed knowledge with addictions and in trauma therapy, and also group processes and conflict resolution. With over 16 years of experience and research, I’ve continued to focus on the deep psychological shifts people need to make for their well-being.

My therapeutic orientation now combines and integrates a relational and systemic approach, and I draw upon psychodynamic, behavioural, gestalt and other humanistic approaches.
