Experience & training

My client base is mostly anxiety related, so I'm experienced with resolving phobias, PTSD, panic attacks, OCD, GAD etc. There is nothing more rewarding than witnessing someone progress and leaving therapy happier, calmer and more at peace with themselves, with the tools to continue on their own.

I have a research interest in PTSD in emergency services/frontline workers. This area interests me because I used to train police officers and firefighters before I became a therapist. The impact of attending traumatic incidents on them is something that inspires me to make trauma therapy more acceptable and accessible to them. I take referrals from frontline19.com to support frontline workers.

I attend continuing professional development courses regularly to keep up to date with developments. Previous courses include;

PTSD workshop

Online Therapy

Mental Health First Aid Instructor

Burnout training

Suicide awareness & prevention

Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours (picking, hair pulling etc.)
