I am a Senior Clinical Nurse Specialist and EMDR Practitioner offering private therapy to support mental health and wellbeing. With over 25 years of experience in NHS mental health services, I bring both depth and breadth of expertise to my private practice.

 

I currently work in Child & Adolescence Mental Health Services (CAMHS), where I have worked extensively with young people facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. I am passionate about helping teenagers and young adults navigate key transitions, overcome difficulties, and move forward with confidence.

​

I am a Registered Mental Health Nurse with the Nursing and Midwifery Council and hold a BSc in Mental Health Nursing (Royal College of Surgeons, Ireland) as well as a BSc in Specialist Community Public Health Nursing: School Nursing (King’s College London). Alongside my clinical background, I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and other evidence-based therapeutic

approaches, allowing me to tailor sessions to the needs of each individual.

​

I am fully insured with Professional Indemnity Insurance, hold an Enhanced DBS, and bring the same high professional standards to my private practice as I do to my NHS work.

​

My therapeutic approach is grounded in empowerment, resilience-building, and

collaboration. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where young people feel heard, understood, and valued. Together, we work to:

•  Build confidence and courage

•  Manage and reduce anxiety

• Strengthen resilience and coping strategies

• Connect with personal strengths and values

• Visualise and work towards a positive future

• Move forward with a sense of capability and hope
