About Me
Around nine years ago I received EMDR therapy treatment to overcome significant and adverse difficulties and experiences. Not only was this treatment hugely successful for me at that time, helping me to overcome the emotional distress, but it has also helped me to better deal with the continual challenges faced in my life.
​
A friend of mine was suffering considerable difficulties in her life and I really wanted to help her, just as I'd been helped.
This is when I was inspired to change careers and I went on to train as an integrative therapist, including Professional Hypnotherapy, EMDR (eye-movement desensitisation and reprocessing) therapy, EMDR Flash Technique, IEMT (Integral Eye Movement Therapy), Safe Sound Protocol (SSP) and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming).
​
I worked harder than ever before, travelling to Sheffield, London, Leicester and Stratford-upon-Avon, as well as in my birth place of Newcastle, to ensure I was trained by the best. This was an exciting and rewarding career move and one I’ve never regretted. I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed work as much as I do now.
​
Not only am I living proof of how these therapies can be successful, I also have the immense pleasure and satisfaction of providing the appropriate therapeutic intervention to help others in overcoming their problems and improving their lives.

Supervision
In the mental health profession, good therapeutic practice recommends the regular supervision of all caseload on a regular basis. This ensures the client's and the therapist’s safety. The supervisor ensures the therapist maintains recognised professional standards and works within their scope of practice.
​
At SCT Therapy, I receive monthly supervision with an approved supervisor with the National Hypnotherapy Society. Further information can be provided on request.
