I am a native English speaker, psychotherapist, EMDRIA/EMDR Europe-accredited consultant, and a trainer working in the UK, the Arab countries, and online with international audiences. As a qualified teacher with over 30 years of experience in teaching and training, I specialise in working with complex trauma, EMDR, the body, ego states and dissociative parts.

In 2025, I had the honour of teaching for EMDR Lebanon in Beirut and the Middle East and North Africa Trauma Alliance (MENATA) in Dubai and was a keynote speaker at the EMDR UK Association annual conference. Living and teaching in the region and maintaining close relationships with Arab and Indian friends and colleagues has given me the privilege of learning about connection and collaboration across diverse Western and Eastern cultures.

As an EMDR consultant, I integrate many different modalities into Attachment-Focused EMDR, including The Progressive Approach to EMDR, integrative, relational psychotherapy, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), ego state therapy, work with dissociative parts, the Structural Dissociation Model, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, yoga therapy and transpersonal psychotherapy.

My approach is very practical and empowering, helping people to overcome suffering and grow.
