About me
FREE 15 MINUTE CONSULTATION My name is Nancy, a dual American and British citizen, mother and grandmother. I studied psychology and Social Work, and hold a Master degree from the United States. I am curious and constantly learning from life and my clients. Over my 28-year career, I have worked in various mental health and social care settings including hospitals, outpatient services, local authorities, NHS, and private practice. I offer free consultations to see if I am a fit. I specialize in EMDR and integrative psychotherapy with an attachment-focused background. Other therapy modalities include IFS, DBT, solution-focused, etc. My passion lies in helping individuals work through trauma and attachment difficulties, improving recovery goals and outcomes. I am drawn to the healing properties of the ocean and nature, with a reverence for how the elements heal us. My specialities are: C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, OCD, family systemic issues, self-worth, neurodiversity in mental wellbeing, mindfulness, solution focused work, eating disorders/traits, and personality difficulties. Maya Angelou was an inspiration to me, and she once said: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Authentic connection is at the heart of my partnership with clients towards recovery. I love anything the outdoors, especially hiking, swimming in the ocean, travel, art, meeting new people, cultural understandings, storytelling and narrative inquiry.
