Credentialed Mental Health Nurse

What we don’t need in the midst of struggle is shame for being human — Brené Brown

Therapy with Simon

My general style is one of a person centred and individualised approach to care. I provide trauma informed care and I am particularly interested in Acute Stress Disorder and PTSD as a diagnostic group. I provide EMDR as a treatment approach for these diagnosis and other incidence of trauma as appropriate.
