Attachment and trauma therapy, training and consultancy with Lee Anna Simmons, Art Psychotherapist and supervisor (HCPC), EMDR Consultant (EMDR U.K. and Europe), Group Supervisor (IGA), Rock Climbing Instructor (Mountain Training)
Adults, children and adolescents attend therapy with me both in-person and online.
​I use Art and EMDR psychotherapy to heal trauma and attachment wounds without having to re-tell experiences with spoken words, by using mark making, imagery and often including psychoeducation combined with mind-body work.
