about Linda
Hello, and a warm welcome.
I am an Integrative Yoga Psychotherapist and Clinical Mind/Body Therapist, offering a collaborative, relational and creative approach in my practice, grounded in neuroscience, mindfulness and embodied practices. I'm part of the Therapy Team in acute care at Priory Ticehurst Hospital, I have gained extensive experience working in NHS acute care units across Sussex, and also work for The Old Bank Wellbeing Trust, a wonderful charitable organisation in Eastbourne. I work with adults of any age, gender and identity presenting with complex trauma, addictions, panic, anxiety, depression, emotional challenges, relational and identity crises, and I have a special interest in working with compulsive sexual behaviours, including sex and pornography addiction. ​
After completing extensive training on the impact trauma and addictions have on the body, and in the difficulties that may arise from navigating cross- and social class expectations and differences, I am now undergoing specialist training in the treatment of compulsive sexual behaviours, and offer a reduced rate whilst the course is underway.
​
I am accredited by and Fellow of the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (NCIP), registered student member of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity (ATSAC), registered student member of the College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists (COSRT), and full registered member of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). I am bound by all their Code of Ethics and Professional Standards.
​
I offer in-person sessions in Horam and Eastbourne, East Sussex, and also work online via secure platforms. My practice is LGBTQIA+ inclusive, honouring all genders and identities, and I work in a neurodivergent affirming way, altering the environment to suit your experience.
I am also a Martial Artist, 1st rank Black Belt in Wado Ryu Karate, also assistant instructor and Safeguarding Lead. Karate is a physical and spiritual practice I honour very deeply, and an art that guides my approach and commitment to both my personal and professional development.
