Services
PLEASE NOTE THAT I PREFER TO ONLY WORK WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF CLIENTS AT A TIME, AS I SUPERVISE OTHER THERAPISTS, OFFER TRAINING AND AM A TRUSTEE OF A SMALL MENTAL HEALTH CHARITY. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT MY FACE TO FACE CLINIC IS ONLY ON FRIDAY IN RIPON, I HAVE ONE SPACE LEFT from March 2026.
EMDR (Eye Movement De-sensitisation & Re-processing 8-10 sessions @ £75 each (1 hour)
“EMDR processes trauma and distress quickly without talking about it.”
It can be fast
It can reduce emotional charge
It is evidenced based for PTSD
Targets later in the trauma cascade sequence
Integrates memories and their meanings by changing how the brain remembers
Not suitable for
Clients with shut down, dissociation, overwhelm when revisiting events, flooding or numbness, shock, developmental trauma and Complex PTSD, a history of psychosis, no memory or preverbal trauma
Deep Brain Re-orienting 1-3 sessions @£120 each (1 hour)
“DBR accesses deep brain structures to heal trauma gently.”
It is unusually gentle, it enables you to sit with and process traumatic shock that the body did not move through when the event occurred. It allow you to move through a ‘Healing Doorway’ out of the frozen state, while keeping you grounded.
Targets information much earlier in the trauma cascade sequence
It can help where other therapies stall
Resolves the physiology of shock by deciding whether the brain needs to defend at all
Resolves defense, not identity
Respects the temporal order of neurobiology and targets a much earlier point in the trauma cascade sequence than EMDR.
Suitable for: People who get overwhelmed or shut down, flood then numb, people who don’t rebound easily and are dysregulated for a long time.
If you landed on EMDR it doesn’t mean you are less traumatised it just means that activation is accessible. If you landed on DBR your system is doing exactly what it learned to do.
If you are unsure which would suit you there is a symptom checklist completed during an initial complementary assessment/discovery call.
Trauma-focused EMDR Sessions with Psychology Coaching 1-3 sessions @£90 each (1 hour)
Nervous system, body (somatic awareness and regulation), EMDR memory processing, personality & protective patterns, personality mental traps (loops), integrative mental health, holistic psychology, burnout, stress, anxiety and attachment.
- Combines coaching and EMDR principles: It blends the goal-oriented future focus of coaching with EMDR’s method of reprocessing past experiences.
- Focuses on goals: Just like traditional coaching, it starts with establishing clear goals for what the client wants to achieve.
- Uses bilateral stimulation: The EMDR aspect uses techniques like eye movements, hand taps, or auditory cues to help the brain process past memories or experiences that are holding the client back.
- Addresses the root cause: Instead of just talking about why a person freezes up in an interview or avoids new opportunities, it works to process the underlying emotional blocks or limiting beliefs connected to those events.
- What all my services can help with
- Clearing emotional blocks
- Overcoming performance limitations in work, sports, or relationships.
- Transforming past experiences, guilt, or shame that trigger feelings of inadequacy.
- Building self-belief by integrating past achievements and clearing old identities.
- Reducing anxiety and building resilience to achieve goals.

**************************************
Reiki
I am a Reiki Master Teacher Practitioner and have been trained since 2000. Reiki addresses you as a whole, rather than targeting individual symptoms. It can create subtle but meaningful shifts from deep within your own being. On the outside looking in, a Reiki treatment might appear to be merely a series of hand placements but it works to restore balance on the deepest possible level, which may result in the resolution of some health problems, a change in beliefs and attitudes, the ability to make decision that have been put off or ignored and the realisation of one’s true values and priorities in life.
Trauma, dysregulated nervous system, mental and emotional health, deep relaxation and balance.
£60 per session – 1 hour – A course of three sessions is recommended for specific objectives, one off sessions are not usually advised.
Add an extra 30 minutes of Crystal Singing Bowls for £20
Please note that any non arrivals or same day cancellations will incur a 50% charge (proven medical emergencies are exempt from this). If your enquiry or booking is made through the website enquiry page you will have been expected to understand the above policy and will be charged accordingly. All consultation and assessment forms will have the cancellation policy included. New clients will need to pay in advance for first session.
