How I Work

In Person and Remote

I offer both in-person sessions in central Cambridge, and online therapy.

How I can help

I use cognitive analytic therapy and other approaches to:

  • Help you make sense of your experiences and how they may link to feelings of distress.

  • Use everyday language to understand patterns of relationships and behaviour.

  • Recognise that the society we live in can influence our way of thinking and feeling.

  • Take a compassionate, friendly, non-judgemental approach.

  • Work with you to make permanent change for the better.

I use EMDR to:

  • Quickly reduce distress from traumatic memories

  • Help you feel safer so you get better sleep, stop feeling horrible when reminded of the memory, and improve feelings of guilt, blame and shame

I may be the right choice if…

  • You’ve had a particularly distressing or traumatic experience which has been bothering you

  • You have tried another therapy like CBT which didn’t quite get to the root of the problem.

  • You know what you want to change but feel frustrated because “I keep making the same mistakes” despite your best efforts.

  • You want to why these distressing feelings or self-defeating behaviour have arisen.

  • You'd be interested in understanding how this may link to your previous and current relationships, or how society’s expectations may have influenced the ways you’ve had to cope.

  • You want the space to think about these complicated factors, but you also want a focus on the small steps you need to take to make changes now.

  • You want to feel stronger in your relationships, and improve your life.
