ABOUT ME
I have worked as a Clinical Psychologist providing psychological therapy for over ten years. I have particular expertise in working with psychological trauma and am an accredited EMDR practitioner. In previous roles I have been a Clinical Lead for Trauma in an outpatient psychological therapies department. I am passionate about helping others overcome the difficulties they are having. Sometimes we don’t know what is causing us to feel distressed and I can help explore with you what is going on for you and work with you to find a way through this.
I also have extensive experience in working with other difficulties such as depression, anxiety, anger, relational difficulties, emotional regulation difficulties or interpersonal difficulties. My main aim is to provide you with a warm and empathic space to make sense of what is going on for you. I offer a range of therapeutic approaches that I will tailor to help you make the changes you want to make to get you closer towards your goals and values.
I also have a passion for working with those with neurodiversity and always work from an affirmative standpoint. I can offer autism diagnostic assessments and/or psychological therapy personalised to your own needs and strengths.
It is not always easy to take the first step. It may feel difficult to make time to work on yourself, or perhaps scary to consider facing difficult experiences you may need to work through. If you want a space to consider how therapy can help you with this then contact me for an initial consultation to discuss.
I work online as well as in a therapy room in Market Weighton in the East Riding of Yorkshire.
