I am an experienced mental health professional and Somatic Experiencing practitioner with a long career in NHS mental health services. I have specialised in understanding trauma and helping people recover from the effects of trauma for over fifteen years.

I see trauma treatment as requiring a broad set of skills, both somatic (body focused) and psychological. Hence I bring my training in the Somatic Experiencing trauma therapy approach and combine this with Psychodynamic skills and theory.

Additionally, I include elements from the Cognitive Behavioural tradition which includes a clearly structured approach to emotion regulation and mindfulness.

I offer both in person and online sessions.
