TRAINING & QUALIFICATIONS
Having qualified as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse in 1989, my mental health nursing career covered specialist fields including substance misuse and sexual abuse, with the majority of my experience working with clients in one to one and group therapy. I have undertaken training in psychodynamic therapy, person centered counselling and cognitive behaviour therapy. However since 2009, my passion has been in EMDR.In 2010 I qualifed as EMDR Practitioner and became an Accredited Practitioner in 2013. In 2022 I commenced my training to become EMDR Accredited Consultant and Clinical Supervisor and successfully achieved the qualification in December 2024.
Over the past 14 years, I have treated clients with EMDR who have experienced a wide range of various mental health conditions and diagnoses, often arising from their struggles with distressing memories of traumatic experiences.An essential part of achieving and maintaining Accreditation is through Continuing Professional Development. This has been achieved with attendance at numerous workshops, training courses and conferences, along with monthly Clinical Supervision to monitor, maintain and improve skills, effectiveness and professional integrity.I am also a Committee Member of the Association's North West Regional Group, a position I have held for the past 6 years.

WHAT IS EMDR?
EMDR stands for Eye Movement, Desensitisation & Reprocessing? EMDR is a complex, specialist treatment used to help people recover from distresssing events and memories, and the consequential mental health problems that can result.
It is different to the usual 'talking therapies' in that the 'talking' or 'processing' nature of the distressing issue is completed through bilateral stimulation and not purely discussion. Whilst this may sound peculiar, EMDR is an extremely successful, well-respected evidence based therapy.

THERAPY TREATMENT
I provide one to one individual therapy sessions using an online platform. Each session lasts for one hour, however it is possible to have longer sessions for a more intensive approach (suitability can be discussed at assessment stage).
Each hourly session is £80.
The first session is always an Assessment to ascertain appropriateness of EMDR, along with any associated risk issues and to address personal history, past and recent traumas, coping style/strategies and goals for treatment.

CLINICAL SUPERVISION
I offer individual online Clinical Supervision to therapists training in EMDR, as well as EMDR practitioners who have completed their training and those accredited, or wishing to gain accreditation. I offer a sliding scale of fees dependent on the level of skill and experience with EMDR.
