Taking the first step to contact me might feel daunting. I recognise the importance of you finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with. Therefore, I offer a no obligation initial session. This session is charged at the full fee rate.

Fast Trauma Relief

I am also qualified in using the Rewind Technique for clients with PTSD, flashbacks, anxiety and unwanted involuntary thoughts. The Rewind Technique has become internationally recognised as indispensable to treat PTSD www.iartt.com. It usually requires no more than two sessions to bring about closure for single traumas. The results are enduring - a follow up of two years showed no relapses in that period of time, it has an over 90 success rate. The Rewind Technique works with any trauma such as abuse, bullying or PTSD which results in unwanted thoughts and flashbacks. It works well for both survivors and onlookers, which makes it an ideal treatment for veterans and the services fireman, police and ambulance.

The traumatic event has entered your brain but it has not become a memory under your control. The memory of the traumatic event comes round whenever it feels like it and so is re-lived over and over again.

The Rewind will make it a memory that you can decide to visit or not.

I work with clients who:

• Understand the need to appreciate themselves

• Want to live a meaningful life

• Are committed to their personal development

• Want to be free of past trauma

• Want to be HAPPY

Walk and Talk Therapy - On a Monday daytime would you prefer your therapy session walking around the park or along the canal instead of in a traditional setting?  We literally move while helping you to move forward.  Detailed below are the benefits we get from exposure to natural light (lux effect.)

On a twenty minute walk light travels through the retina onto the brain and has an
immediate effect on serotonin, the feel good hormone. Indoors is 50-100 lux per hour. Outdoors on an overcast day is 7-10,000 lux per hour and on a sunny day is up to an amazing and uplifting 100,000 lux.  So even on a dull, overcast day we still benefit from being outside.
