Trauma and ADHD informed therapy for Adults
Welcome
About Me
I am an experienced psychotherapist and hypnotherapist. I work with adults of all genders, sex, sexualities, ethnicities, beliefs and lifestyles.
I am ADHD and Trauma-informed and specialise in treating PTSD and chronic trauma. I am trained in a wide variety of tools and techniques for use both in and out of hypnotic trance for the management of many of life's challenges, not just those as a result of trauma.
I'm based in Wimbledon where I hold face-to-face sessions, but I am also available to see clients from further afield online.

Why see a therapist?
Life can be hard at times and occasionally it can be tricky to know who to go to when friends and family are not the solution.
Sometimes we just need someone who will hear what we have to say without judgement, someone we can vent to, someone sympathetic, someone who will listen, someone who can help us understand ourselves a bit better.
Maybe something has happened to us that we find it hard to share with those closest to us. Maybe we have habits or other behaviours we want to change, but struggle to. Maybe we feel or react to things in a way that we wish we didn't.
Maybe I can help.
What can you expect?
Key to how I work is by having 'Unconditional Positive Regard' for all my clients. Within the therapy room, you can rest assured that there is safety, security, confidentiality and a non-judgemental ear, willing to hear your story with compassion.
Frequently Asked Questions
If there is anything you would like to know that isn't listed here, please contact me via the form below and I'll be happy to answer if I can.
After an initial, no fee and no commitment telephone consultation, the first session is usually one to one-and-a-half hours at no cost beyond the standard rate. Subsequent sessions last 50 minutes.
Sadly I do have to charge for my services. My standard rate is £80 per session.
I have a 24 hour cancellation window. Sessions cancelled before that are not charged. Cancellations within 24 hours are charged at the full rate.
From experience, I find that weekly sessions at the same time each week produce the best results for clients.
While I prefer seeing clients face-to-face, I also conduct sessions remotely if required.
I am trained in a number of tools and techniques, each with their own impenetrable names and acronyms, including CBT, STAIR, EMDR and IFS. While their approaches are different, the general goal is to understand and re-calibrate our emotional response to be more aligned with the nature of our stressors.
No two sessions are alike, but typically I will begin by asking you some questions to gauge how you have been since our previous session. we will then proceed depending on what has gone before. It may be reviewing exercises from the time before, developing new skills, addressing something unexpected that has arisen, or reflecting on progress in managing ongoing situations.
Not always. Whatever tools I use with clients is always with their informed consent. However if a client would like exclusively hypnosis, then I would be very willing to do so.
