Issues I deal with

Why do people come to see me?

Most of my clients come to me because they are attracted to my training in progressive and emerging approaches to dealing with lasting wounds, unresolved internal conflict and trauma.  This includes but is not limited to energy psychology and energy psychotherapy.

I help with the following types of issues:

• Trauma: including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)

• Illness: including illness not responding to medical interventions - chronic illness including ME / CFS, autoimmune conditions, and cancer

• Mood: anxiety and / or depression

• Relationship Issues: sexuality / LGBTQI+ / divorce

• Eating disorders: anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder (BED)

• Bereavement & major life changes

• Transpersonal: spiritual counselling / spirituality / searching for meaning

• Transgenerational trauma

What is trauma?

I have a wide definition and understanding of trauma as any difficulty which overwhelms our innate ability to regulate and heal. 

I work with people who are suffering from what you might call “Big T Trauma”.  This includes: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): an incident or series of incidents in adult life which remain unprocessed and can result in symptoms such as flashbacks, nightmares, insomnia, dissociation, and self-harm. 

I also work with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD): trauma which has many origins and triggers starting in childhood and including developmental trauma.

I work with people who wouldn’t recognise themselves as struggling with “Big T” Trauma but who might identify as someone who has “little t” trauma - where the ability to manage the events of everyday life causes great anxiety without an obvious origin.  I also work with people who wouldn’t think of themselves as suffering from trauma but who, for whatever reason, hope for “something more from life than this!”.  However you understand your situation, you are welcome to get in touch. 

I am listed on all the following websites / directories, where you are free to compare my approach to other therapists: BACP, Counselling Directory, Energy Psychotherapy Network, AIT UK Europe.
