If you are in emotional distress or having poor sleep due to nightmares (common after trauma), then I can help you recover safely and quickly. I work with a wide range of mental health conditions, from anxiety and depression, to addictions, compulsions, phobias, relationship issues and behaviours that are a causing difficulties.
I work using the most effective approaches, and tend to find that most clients only require a few sessions, even for seemingly very difficult and long standing issues such as child abuse and military trauma.
Therapy with me is also not a 'white knuckle ride', and you won't have to talk at length about your past. For the most difficult and painful past traumatic events, you can choose not to say anything at all. Resolving trauma is also not about reliving it - I use techniques which can be rapid and painless.
You will also notice that I train, mentor and supervise other therapists in the field of trauma therapy. This is because I believe that the tools I use should be available to all therapists, which also need to be combined with high levels of skill and experience. Not all counsellors are effective trauma therapists - after all, you wouldn't ask a GP to operate on your knee!
If you are considering starting therapy, please contact me so we can have a brief chat before arranging a session. I look forward to hearing from you.
