| Practice Information |
I help my clients with addictions, anxiety, PTSD, phobias, pain management, insomnia and many other issues, using a combination of neurolinguistic psychotherapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing), EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and Sandplay Therapy. I offer treatment to adults, couples (of any sexual orientation), and young people and children.
I teach AAMET certified EFT courses in English and Russian in several countries in Europe and Asia, and have developed a specialised training programme on EFT applications for addiction treatment the details of which can be found. I regularly give talks and presentations at various conferences and symposia in the UK and abroad.
In the UK my EFT training workshops take place mainly in Manchester area, and also deliver in-house training for organisations. Twice a year I teach specialised workshops on EFT for Eating Disorders in collaboration with the National Centre for Eating Disorders in Surrey, and addictions-focused workshops in partnership with Claudius Drug Training in York. I also travel regularly to teach EFT in Europe in Asia, in countries such as Norway, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Israel, Kazakhstan.
I offer EFT Supervision and Mentoring to groups, individually and by telephone (mentoring is an essential CPD requirement for all AAMET Practitioners). As I consider supervision/mentoring extremely important and believe it is currently underused by EFT Practitioners, offer half-price supervision sessions to graduates of my training workshops. I also run a free monthly Peer Supervision group in Glossop, Derbyshire. |

My professional experience includes work in the criminal justice system (prison and probation service), in the drug & alcohol treatment field (I was a drug treatment manager at HMP Styal, a women's prison), adult education, mental health and wellbeing.
In my work for the Big Life group I developed and managed an innovative Well Being Centre in Stockport between 2006-09.
Currently I combine my private psychotherapy and training practice with work as a psychotherapist and EMDR therapist with two NHS trusts. |
