​I offer psychological assessment and therapy to adults aged 18+ across the UK through private health insurance. My approach integrates EMDR, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and psychodynamic psychotherapy to provide tailored, evidence-based treatment for people experiencing persistent anxiety-related difficulties, OCD, PTSD, and trauma-related conditions.

What to expect

All treatment sessions are delivered via a secure video platform designed for EMDR therapy. This service is intended for clients who are open to regular online sessions and have access to a suitable device, such as a tablet, laptop, or desktop computer, and a stable internet connection.

For many psychological difficulties, remote therapy can be highly effective, with research demonstrating outcomes comparable to face-to-face treatment across a range of therapeutic approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and EMDR.

Suitability

 

Online therapy offers greater flexibility and accessibility for many people, particularly those living in remote areas or balancing work, health difficulties, caring responsibilities, or travel limitations.

Some people naturally feel uncertain about working online at first, but most clients adjust to the format quickly.

However, working online is not suitable for everyone. Some clients prefer face-to-face work, while others may have needs better served in person, depending on their circumstances or clinical needs.

In these situations, it may be more appropriate to seek a therapist with face-to-face availability.
