After graduating with a BSc Psychology degree, my first career was as a police officer for over 27 years. Throughout that time I supervised many police officers and civilian staff in their day to day roles to support their welfare, training and development. Due to the nature of policing, experiencing traumatic events is usual, however sometimes the impact is long-lasting. I undertook training in therapeutic counselling in 2014 in order to better assist those who I supervised, and soon decided that this would be my second career. I have maintained a keen interest in trauma work, and went on to train as an EMDR therapist. I incorporated EMDR into my counselling practice and have witnessed the incredible results that this method brings with countless clients. It is my aim to expand the use of this amazing therapy to other practitioners to enable quick and effective healing for our clients.
