I've been a psychologist for twenty years and have worked in a range of frontline mental health services, including services supporting people with severe and enduring mental illness, personality disorder, psychosis and post disaster management.

I was increasingly drawn to trauma because if you treat it well, a lot of other presenting problems like anxiety and depression begin to improve. Working well with trauma thus seemed to me to be highly worthwhile.

I chose to specialise in Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) as it is so effective, does not require years and years of commitment and can be done in a very respectful way that does not result in the client having to go into the minutiae of what happened to them.

I have particular interest and experience in working with those whose jobs expose them to trauma and distress. This includes police officers, senior leaders, healthcare workers, first responders, journalists and NGO employees.

If your job involves making difficult decisions in the context of human suffering it pays to be psychologically well. Psychological wellbeing matters for anyone who works in a potentially traumatising context and also for those carrying significant responsibility. You deserve to get help if you need it.

Whatever your role, I can work with you.

If you feel you are affected by trauma such as sexual violence, rape, complicated loss, assaults accidents or domestic violence, these are issues I have also have extensive experience of.
