Holding the Frontline

For organisations supporting police, ambulance, fire, prison, social work, and other frontline teams

People in frontline roles are routinely exposed to trauma that most therapists have never encounter directly. But I have. I know this world.

With nine years experience working alongside frontline staff, I understand the culture your staff work in and I won't need it explained to me first. I've seen what the job does to people: the ways people cope when they're in uniform, how unsafe vulnerability can feel in these environments and how heavy the weight of the work really is.

 

For many officers, the job is tied up with identity — being capable, being in control. Trauma can quietly erode that, and when it doesn't get addressed, it shows up in how someone does the job too.

As an EMDR therapist, I support individuals and groups after particularly difficult incidents, helping them process what happened and rebuild that sense of themselves. Not simply just cope, but actually help them feel like themselves again. A UK study found that brief EMDR-based therapy meaningfully reduced symptoms of PTSD, depression and anxiety, with high satisfaction and a marked improvement in day-to-day functioning. In other words, staff get back to doing their job well, without needing months of treatment to get there

Let's talk about supporting your team

I am also an approved provider for several organisations that offer financial assistance, helping to make therapy more accessible for those who need it.

I’m Here When You’re Ready.

My consulting room is based in Chislehurst, South-East London, where I offer face-to-face therapy every Monday. I also provide online sessions with greater flexibility, so you can choose the format that best fits your life and needs.

If you’d like to explore whether therapy with me feels like the right fit, I offer a free 15-minute consultation — a chance for us to talk about what’s been happening for you and how I might be able to help.
