WELCOME TO EAST KENT THERAPY

Hello, If you have psychological, emotional and personal difficulties in your life and in your relationships, i can help you with a popular trauma-focused approach. 

Utilising the benefits of Internal Family Systems' therapy, you can make great progress with your mental health. IFS can help with: trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, addictions, eating disorders, bipolar disorders, personality problems, people-pleasing; and for people who may be in abusive situations or find themselves stuck in patterns of sabotaging behaviour.

 When you embody more Self, and begin to love all aspects of your self and body, your extreme 'protective parts' of your nervous system calm down, they become more playful, safer, freer, more open, joyful. You become safe. You can trace the history of your problems with clear understanding and move forward. 

 I integrate IFS with an established trauma therapy (EMDR) with somatic techniques, tapping, and meditation and visualisation. This includes engaging with your inner child, resolving emotions like shame and fear; and helping you unburden from intergenerational legacy burdens from your ancestors. You will become like a conductor of an orchestra - orchestrating your own life and owning your Self.  

Integrating modern trauma-informed approaches to therapy

Hi, If you have trouble with some aspects of yourself such as low self-esteem, depression, poor confidence, shame, addictions, somatic issues, workaholicism, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, sexual and relational problems, hopelessness... these are wounded 'parts' of you that can be healed and befriended. 

This therapeutic approach can be done in a gentle, soft, kind, compassionate way, with lots of empathy. Only today i saw a lady with migraines and resolved the ancestral burdens given to her, we went back several generations, using a family unburdening ceremony; and formed a relationship with the 'protective' migraine parts that were hurting her.  

Based in Canterbury in the UK, I have worked in the NHS for over 20 years in liaison psychiatry and A&E departments and the general hospital. I trained at Kings College London and the Institute of Psychiatry. I'm a big fan of George Orwell and was a judge on the Orwell Dystopian Fiction Prize this year. 

 I am registered with the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy; the UK's EMDR Association; and with the UK Nursing and Midwifery Council. And with the IFS Institute i have completed IFS1 in Internal Family Systems’ (IFS) therapy.

I integrate Internal Family Systems’ and trauma (EMDR) therapies, with a somatic 'bodily' focus. As Gabor Mäté says: “All of the diagnoses that you deal with - depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar illness, post traumatic stress disorder, even psychosis, are significantly rooted in trauma."
