Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and EMDR Therapist
I offer a confidential, non judgemental and reliable setting where you can talk about what has brought you to therapy. At the heart of how I work is a commitment to fostering growth and possibility.
I welcome and work with people from diverse backgrounds
Counselling and Psychotherapy give you a regular time to talk and think about emotional difficulties you may be facing. Challenges may come from within or from the wider environment including family and work.
I believe that many of our struggles are rooted in unconscious patterns and early relational experiences. Our past and current lived experiences including aspects of our environment are unique to each of us and can create ongoing distress particularly in our closest relationships.
Together we can think about these issues in order to gain greater insight as well as self understanding and compassion. Understanding youself in a different way, leading to new perspectives can bring relief and hopefully improved relationships.
Often people come with emotional difficulties that have taken years to build up so there is a need to allow time for the work.
EMDR (Eye movement, desensitisation and reprocessing) is a slightly different sort of therapy developed to treat symptoms of trauma

About me.
I will listen carefully to you and think about what you are saying; this can create a sense of space and quiet and is different from talking with a friend. I see people with a range of issues and from different backgrounds. I am experienced in providing long term therapy as well as a time- limited approach where the number of sessions is agreed during the initial consultation.
I hold both a professional psychotherapy qualification (WPF London) and an MA in Psychodynamic Theory and Practice (Roehampton)
EMDR levels 1-4 (EMDR Academy)
Registrant of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) click here
Member of The Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC) click here
Member of the BACP
This means I abide by robust codes of ethics and practice.
I am therefore commited to ongoing professional development to deepen my knowledge and develop my practice.
Location and Times
My room is comfortable and located in a quiet and private garden close to the centre of Bedford. I offer day time and evening sessions.
Sessions are 50 minutes long apart from the initial consultation which is longer.
