Service Details

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured psychotherapy approach designed to help people recover from trauma, distressing life events, anxiety, and other emotional difficulties.

Sessions are 50 minutes long, and priced at £150. However, I strongly believe that access to therapy should not be restricted by financial barriers. A limited number of reduced‑fee appointments are available—please feel free to enquire if cost is a concern.

It works by helping the brain reprocess painful memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or “stuck.” EMDR doesn’t erase the memory—it changes how it’s stored, so it’s less distressing and more adaptive. The therapy uses bilateral stimulation (like side‑to‑side eye movements, sounds, or taps) while the client recalls parts of a traumatic memory. This mimics what the brain naturally does during REM sleep and supports the brain’s natural healing process.

What it helps with

  • PTSD
  • Childhood Trauma
  • Anxiety and Panic
  • Phobias
  • Grief and Loss
  • Addiction and Relapse Triggers

Why is it different?

  • No detailed talking about the trauma is required
  • Doesn’t rely on homework or traditional exposure
  • Rapid and often long‑lasting results

Addiction Treatment

Individualised treatment programmes aimed at understanding the underlying causes of addictive behaviours, developing coping strategies, and preventing relapse.

Sessions are 50 minutes long, and priced at £150. However, I strongly believe that access to therapy should not be restricted by financial barriers. A limited number of reduced‑fee appointments are available—please feel free to enquire if cost is a concern.

1:1 Addiction Therapy: Depth, Compassion, and Lasting Change

Addiction is rarely the whole story—it's often a response to pain, disconnection, trauma, or unmet needs. In intensive 1:1 therapy, I create a space that’s safe, relational, and attuned to the complexity beneath the substance use.

Our work goes beyond surface behaviours. Together, we explore the nervous system’s role in survival patterns, unpick old relational dynamics, and build healthier ways to communicate, connect, and regulate.

We identify the deeper drivers of addiction—shame, grief, trauma, unmet attachment needs—and bring them into compassionate focus. Alongside this, we will develop together practical relapse prevention tools, grounded in real-life triggers and emotional landscapes.

  • Behavioural and substance addictions
  • Harm‑reduction and abstinence‑based approaches
  • Relapse‑prevention planning

This is not a quick fix—it’s a steady, respectful process of helping you reconnect with your self, your values, and the possibility of life beyond addiction.

Eating Disorder Therapy

Specialist, trauma‑informed psychotherapy for anorexia, bulimia, binge‑eating and other disordered‑eating patterns. Sessions integrate evidence‑based modalities—EMDR, somatic approaches, and attachment‑focused work—to address both the behaviours and the underlying emotional drivers.

Therapy is collaborative and paced to honour your nervous system. We explore the function of the eating disorder (control, numbness, self‑protection), build alternative regulation strategies, and strengthen your relationship with body, hunger and self‑worth.

Sessions are 50 minutes long, and priced at £150. However, I strongly believe that access to therapy should not be restricted by financial barriers. A limited number of reduced‑fee appointments are available—please feel free to enquire if cost is a concern.

Focus areas

  • Nutritional and emotional attunement
  • Body‑image distress and shame reduction
  • Trauma & attachment wounds underlying disordered eating
  • Relapse‑prevention planning and support during weight restoration

Consultancy & Service Development

I offer specialist consultancy for organisations developing or enhancing in-person addiction treatment services that are clinically robust, ethically grounded, and deeply trauma-informed.

With extensive experience across both private and statutory sectors, I bring a unique ability to integrate the innovation, relational depth, and flexibility of the private sector with the structure, consistency, and quality frameworks of statutory provision. This fusion enriches services with elevated standards and whole-system cohesion.

My consultancy includes:

  • Designing or refining clinical pathways and therapeutic programmes
  • Cultivating emotionally intelligent, trauma-informed team cultures
  • Training frontline staff in attachment-aware, nervous system-informed care
  • Aligning operations, leadership, and therapeutic intent with values-led delivery

This is consultancy rooted in integrity—supporting services to move beyond compliance, and towards lasting, human-centred

Professional Training — Trauma-Informed, Evidence-Led

High-impact workshops and masterclasses that translate the science of trauma, attachment and nervous-system regulation into everyday practice. Whether you are a frontline clinician, HR lead, or team manager, these sessions equip you with concrete skills to recognise distress, respond compassionately, and foster psychologically safe environments.

Each training can be delivered in-person or online, is highly interactive, and comes with follow-up resources for embedding learning into policy and culture. Standard duration is 90-minutes to half-day; bespoke programmes and reflective practice groups are available on request.

Residential Treatment Access

When the safest next step is 24-hour therapeutic support, I offer a seamless bridge into carefully vetted residential programmes in the UK and abroad. My role is to make sure the right placement happens quickly, ethically, and with a clear plan for what comes next.

Why work with me?

  • Swift Admissions

    • assessments scheduled within 72 hours and a typical turnaround from enquiry to admission of 7–10 days.

  • Unrivalled Market Insight

    • a decade-plus mapping the residential landscape means I know the real-world culture, clinical strengths and funding models of each centre, not just the marketing line.

  • Needs-Led Placement

    • matching is based on diagnostic fit, therapeutic milieu, co-occurring conditions, budget and aftercare possibilities, objective and commission-free.

  • End-to-End Continuity

    • I liaise with the residential team, insurers or funding bodies, and co-design a step-down plan so outpatient work picks up the moment discharge happens.

Fees for assessment and placement coordination start at £450 and include liaison with medical teams, travel logistics advice, and a written clinical summary for the admitting service. Reduced-fee pathways are available for families funding treatment privately. Please enquire to discuss your circumstances.
