Yellowhammer Therapy
Reaching out for therapy takes courage. It asks you to turn toward what has been managed, avoided, or endured. My work is shaped not only by clinical training, but by years in the contemporary art world and a longstanding interest in philosophy. Art taught me to look closely. Philosophy taught me to question assumptions. Psychotherapy allows both to serve healing.
I hold a Master’s degree in Addiction Counselling and Psychotherapy and specialise in trauma-informed work, including EMDR. I do not see people as problems to be fixed, but as nervous systems shaped by experience — carrying adaptive strategies that once made sense.
Therapy becomes a space of careful collaboration. Together, we trace patterns to their origins, understand how they protected you, and create room for something more integrated to emerge. The work is not about reinvention.It is about reclamation.

Activate community support and get brief intervention support to keep you on the path of recovery.
My work draws from EMDR, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, parts-informed therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, and recovery and sober coaching. These approaches offer structure and orientation. But methods are only the surface. What matters is where the work takes place. We work at the depth where patterns were first shaped — long before they became symptoms. At that depth we begin to understand the intelligent ways the mind learned to survive: through control, intensity, perfectionism, withdrawal, or numbing.
Nothing is pathologised.
Nothing is shamed.
Everything is understood in context.
This is structured, trauma-informed psychotherapy — grounded in clinical rigour, but human in its pace and delivery.
We turn gently toward the parts of you that learned to carry too much for too long. The work honours the nervous system and respects the wisdom of the adaptations that once made survival possible. What I offer is not urgency or performance. It is steadiness. Careful, contained work that restores regulation and allows integration to unfold in its own time.
Real change is rarely dramatic.
It is quiet.
It is durable.
And it holds.

Virtual EMDR FAQs
Q: What is EMDR therapy?
A: EMDR is an acronym for Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing Therapy. It was designed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories. EMDR therapy helps to access traumatic memories and facilitates the processing of these memories to bring them to an adaptive resolution. Successful EMDR treatment is characterised by the relief of distress, the reformulation of negative beliefs and a reduction in physiological arousal.
Q: What evidence is there to suggest that it works?
A: There have been over thirty studies of EMDR therapy which have had a positive outcome. Under this umbrella of controlled studies over 84% of single event trauma victims reported no post-traumatic stress after three ninety-minute sessions. An HMO study found that 100% of single event trauma victims and 77% of multiple trauma victims were free from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, (PTSD) after six, fifty-minute sessions. In a similar study reports indicated 77% of combat veterans were free from PTSD in twelve sessions.
Q: What would a session involve?
A: EMDR treatment would usually begin with several sessions which might involve stabilisation, grounding and psycho-education. The standard EMDR therapy protocol follows eight-phases which includes resourcing, processing and installation. This may vary depending on if you are having treatment for anxiety, PTSD, and Complex-PTSD. Processing is carried out using bilateral stimulation. This is facilitated by eye movements, auditory clicks, and/or tapping.
Q: Can I be cured in one session?
A: Having EMDR therapy as an adjunct therapy can be completed in one session. However, EMDR therapy is usually used in the wider context of therapy which includes a stabilisation and history taking phase so it is likely you will have a few therapy sessions which may or may not use EMDR specifically. Length of therapy also depends on how much trauma you might be processing and the nature of that trauma. Most clients have more than one trauma to process.
Q: Why is EMDR treatment so effective?
A: EMDR is quicker than more traditional forms of therapy and does not prolong trauma recall exposure which can sometimes be the case with other therapies. It also incorporates a number of elements from traditional therapeutic approaches. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), experiential and interactional therapies. The EMDR approach integrates strands of imagery, cognition, affect, related memories and somatic sensation.
Q: What is bilateral stimulation?
A: Bilateral stimulation is stimuli which occur in a rhythmic left to right pattern. For example, visual bilateral stimulation might involve watching a finger or hand moving from left to right. In my practice I use EMDR specific software that displays a dot on your screen together with a sound as you sweep your eyes left to right. https://app.bilateralbase.com/
Q: What are the side effects of EMDR therapy?
A: EMDR usually has a positive effect on a client’s experience of life. There are however some side effects which can manifest as a result of treatment. These might include new, unresolved memories that come into consciousness. Reactions can also occur in treatment which might include a high level of physical sensation and high level of emotions. Processing can also continue after a session ends. This can affect dreams, feelings and memories on a temporary basis.
Q: How many EMDR sessions will it take?
A: The number of sessions is dependent on the trauma that needs to be processed and whether EMDR is being used in an adjunct way as part of another therapy or as a stand-alone treatment.
Q: Will I have to re-live the trauma I went through?
A: Processing trauma requires a brief history of your traumas so that the therapist knows what you require help with. This is a brief history where you are not expected to go into detail. Processing will require you to recall and view the traumatic from a safe distance i.e. as if you were viewing the trauma through a window on a passenger train. Remember, I will be with you as you process, and after desensitising and reprocessing with EMDR disturbance levels are usually decreased.
Q: Will I experience immediate benefits following treatment?
A: Some people experience immediate benefits following EMDR therapy. For others processing takes a bit longer with a positive outcome usually.
