Academic background:

I trained as a Clinical Psychologist in a range of therapeutic models in France and specialised in child and adult child mental health and attended specialist training in working with Families, Groups and Organisations in a crisis situation. After completing my training I moved to the UK and worked for the NHS. I completed a Post-Graduate Diploma in CBT at Royal Holloway University of London in 2010.

I provide evidence based interventions including CBT, Trauma Focussed CBT for PTSD and complex trauma. I provide Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I specialised further in working with trauma using  Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and I'm accredited as an EMDR Europe Consultant Supervisor. 

Career:

I worked in an Acute Assessment Team and in secure in-patient settings, as part of multidisciplinary teams testing and treating adults and older adults individually and in groups. I worked in physical health services and carried out research in this field.

I spent a year in an Oncology Service setting up psychology provision and offered psychological support to patients, families and the team. I trained as a systemic family therapist and provided therapy to families in various settings.

I have 15 years of experience working within the NHS in Primary care services and I have contributed to the development of Primary care services aiming to Improve Access to Psychological Therapy for those in need. 

I attended specialist supervision training throughout my career and I have extensive experience in supervising clinicians within the NHS, at University and in private practise.
