PTSD Therapy
I specialise in working with adults experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following a clearly identifiable traumatic event.
PTSD can develop after experiences such as road traffic accidents, assaults, workplace incidents, medical emergencies, witnessing traumatic events, or other situations where you felt your life or safety was threatened. If you are experiencing intrusive memories, flashbacks, nightmares, avoiding reminders of what happened, feeling constantly on edge, or struggling to move forward after a traumatic experience, evidence-based therapy can help.
I am a UK-accredited, Oxford-trained Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT therapist) and psychotherapist. My approach is grounded in CBT, one of the recommended psychological treatments for PTSD. Therapy is structured, collaborative, and focused on helping you understand how trauma has affected your thoughts, emotions, and behaviour. Together we will work towards reducing the impact of traumatic memories, overcoming avoidance, and helping you regain confidence in everyday life.
I work with adults whose PTSD symptoms relate to a specific traumatic event and who are looking for a structured, goal-oriented treatment approach. If you're unsure whether your symptoms meet the criteria for PTSD, we can explore this together during our initial sessions.
Alongside my clinical work, I am an Associate Professor of Psychology with over a decade of experience in psychological research and teaching. My academic background helps me explain the science behind PTSD and why particular treatment strategies are effective, so you can understand both the recovery process and the rationale behind each stage of therapy.
What you can expect
> Evidence-based CBT for PTSD.
> A structured treatment plan with clear goals.
> Practical strategies and between-session exercises.
> Clear explanations of how PTSD develops and how recovery occurs.
> A professional, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic relationship.
Recovery from PTSD is possible. My aim is to help you reduce distressing symptoms, regain a sense of safety, and return to living the life you want after trauma.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
