Traditional talk therapy is invaluable, but sometimes intellectual insight alone is not enough to create lasting change. You may understand your challenges logically, yet still feel unable to shift the underlying emotional or physical tension.

Integrative Arts Psychotherapy offers an alternative way to access what is stuck. By using creative metaphors—through image, shape, or movement—we can bypass the 'analytical mind' that often keeps us in repetitive thought patterns.

This approach is particularly effective for:

• Burnout and Emotional Fatigue: When you are too exhausted to find the right words.
• Unconscious Patterns: Identifying the hidden dynamics in your professional or personal life.
• Complex Transitions: Finding clarity when logic feels overwhelmed by too many variables.

The use of the Arts is always adapted to each person and never imposed. It offers and additional pathway for exploration particularly for those who feel disconnected, numb, or overwhelmed by verbal reflection alone.

Sometimes, despite our best efforts to understand our problems intellectually, we find ourselves stuck in the same emotional patterns or physical tensions. EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based approach designed to process the memories and traumas that stay 'trapped' in the nervous system.

How EMDR can help:

• Processing Past Trauma: Resolving the impact of distressing life events that continue to trigger anxiety or fear.
• Breaking Cycles: Moving past repeated relational or professional patterns that insight alone cannot change.
• Relieving Physical Tension: Addressing the bodily symptoms of chronic stress and 'burnout.

In my practice, EMDR is used within a steady, trauma-informed framework, ensuring that we work at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.

Choosing a therapist is a significant decision. I offer a complimentary 15-minute initial telephone consultation to discuss your needs and see if we are a good fit.

During the first meeting, we will assess if this is the right therapy and together, agree on a course of sessions. Our sessions are 50 minutes long and typically scheduled at the same time each week for an agreed period of time online or face to face.

Some clients choose to access psychotherapy through private health insurance or workplace wellbeing schemes.

I am registered with several major UK insurance providers, including:

•  Bupa, Axa PPP, Aviva, WPA, Cigna and CBT Clinics. Please have your authorisation code ready when booking.

If you plan to use insurance, you may wish to check with your provider regarding:

• Whether psychotherapy is covered
• Whether a GP referral is required
• The number of sessions authorised

I am happy to provide any additional information required by your insurer.

• Location: I see clients in person in Chelsea and Kensington and provide online therapy worldwide.
• Languages: Sessions are available in English, French, and Italian.

I operate a 48-hour cancellation policy to ensure the practice remains accessible to those in need of urgent support.
