HOW I CAN HELP YOU
Does past events go over and over your mind? Do you feel the past is still raw and you are constantly re-living it? I am both a psychiatrist and known for my expertise in working with complex trauma related disorders. I offer high quality assessments, patient/client centered treatment plan and options that are tailored to individual needs.

Stressful childhood or adult traumas can present as anxiety, depression, low self worth, phobias, PTSD, unresolved grief, shame, guilt, panic attacks, self harm etc. Resolving these traumas resolves current symptoms. I use EMDR integrated within an Internal Family Systems (IFS) framework for deeper healing experiences. Both these therapies are powerful and work by accessing the natural healing ability of clients facilitated by the therapist.
WHY I AM SPECIALIZED IN THIS FIELD
I have extensive experience in medication management of psychiatry as a NHS UK based Consultant Psychiatrist but also unique skills in managing complex trauma and dissociative disorders. I have 21 years of experience using EMDR for trauma, loss and stress-related conditions. I deliver a unique integrative model – ‘IFS-Informed EMDR’, an approach that enhances the safety and effectiveness of EMDR for clients with complex trauma and those who have had limited success with other therapies.

I work with those with anxiety issues, panic disorder, phobias, body dysmorphic disorders, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders (OCD), recurrent and treatment-resistant depression, bipolar Disorder and psychosis. post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD, personality and dissociative disorders (including Dissociative Identity Disorder), post-traumatic reactions following medical or surgical emergencies, ICU experiences, birth trauma and major life events. I have expertise in working with Functional Neurological Disorders (FND), somatic, hypochondriacal fears, and Medically Unexplained Symptoms (MUS) Complicated Grief (CG) and loss/attachment-related issues

For therapists, I have been a EMDR Europe Practitioner & Consultant/Supervisor/Training facilitator and an ex-board member of the EMDR Association in the UK. I have published several research articles and book chapters on topics related to EMDR, psychosis, anxiety, and phobias and is currently writing two key books on these topics. I offer clinical supervision in EMDR for those trained in it (both group and individual) and delivers EMDR/IFS workshops and events. I have been invited to speak as an expert on BBC Scotland news and radio programmes.
WHAT I SAY TO PEOPLE WHO FEEL NERVOUS OR HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THERAPY/ASSESSMENT
Getting past your past is a crucial element in healing. Feeling stuck in guilt, shame, fear, helplessness and powerlessness of the past takes away everything that is in the here and now. Trauma work can be done without disclosure of details (especially when working with private traumas) and done as fast or slow the client wants it to be.
