Academic background:

I trained in France as a Clinical Psychologist in a range of therapeutic models and specialised in adult mental health and as a systemic family therapist working with Families, Groups and Organisations during a crisis situation. I moved to the UK 20 years ago and worked for the NHS where I completed a Post-Graduate Diploma in CBT at Royal Holloway University of London in 2010.

I provide evidence based interventions including CBT, Trauma Focussed CBT and EMDR and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I specialised further in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and I'm an accredited practitioner and EMDR Europe Consultant Supervisor. 

Career:

I worked in an Acute Assessment Team and in secure in-patient settings, as part of multidisciplinary teams with adults individually and in groups. I set up psychological service provision in an Oncology Service and offered  support to patients, families and the team and carried out research in this field. During my clinical training I also practised as a Systemic Family Therapist and worked collaboratively with renowned psychiatrists in France providing family therapy in in-patient and out-patient settings.

I have 15 years of experience working within the NHS in Primary care services and I have contributed to the development of Primary care services during the roll out of the IAPT initiative aiming to make therapy more accessible to those in need. 

Throughout my career I attended specialist supervision training and gained extensive experience in providing consultancy and supervision to professionals in the NHS, Universities, schools, charities and senior management teams. I offer senior staff and leaders a reflective space for personal and professional growth. 

Clinical Expertise:

I treat PTSD and complex trauma as well as common mental health disorders having attended specialist training in treating depression, a range of anxiety disorders, grief. I offer Mindfulness based interventions, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, Cognitive reprocessing therapy and EMDR interventions. I have expertise in providing consultancy, clinical supervision and systemic interventions to services, teams and individual and clinicians in the caring profession.
