About Me

---

Experience 

Since 1993 I have worked in health and social care, mostly as a therapist in the NHS, in primary and secondary care. This has included management roles, but foremost I am a clinician. 

How I Will Work With You

Although my main therapy is EMDR my approach comes from a humanistic background which emphasizes looking at the the whole person and the uniqueness of each individual. The biggest expert on you is yourself so I will work jointly with you to provide a comprehensive assessment of your needs and agree an appropriate treatment plan.

Qualifications

I am accredited with EMDR Europe as an EMDR Consultant & Training Facilitator and with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (No.16802).  My main qualifications are MA in Humanistic Counselling (Durham University, 2006) & Diploma in Social Work (Durham, 1999). I am also a qualified mindfulness teacher.

The Space

A comfortable room in a confidential, safe space at Heaton Acupuncture Clinic https://heatonacupuncture.co.uk in Sandyford, Newcastle. Parking outside or just a short walk from Jesmond Metro station.

Cost

I offer an initial, no obligation, consultation which will enable you to discuss your difficulties. Fees are then on a sliding scale and negotiable for longer-term therapy. Please contact me for further information
