About me

I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist.

I offer evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with components of mindfulness, and Compassionate Focused Therapy in treating common mental health problems such as low mood, anxiety, OCD, low self-esteem and trauma treating children, adolescents and adults.

I am passionate about helping my clients and provide a non-judgmental, empathic and safe space to discuss personal issues you may be experiencing.

I work collaboratively towards your therapy goals with a focus on the importance of a therapeutic relationship. I aim to achieve greater understanding of the issues you are experiencing and exploring strategies and perspectives to move forward.

I offer compassion, warmth & commitment to support you professionally with genuine care.

Therapy offers a unique space where you can feel understood and gain perspective.

I am keen to help you grow and change the way that you relate to others, yourself and the world in general.

Avoiding jargon & complicated language I explain things in a way that is easy to understand and apply, using interesting metaphors, images and stories.

My priority is your wellbeing and helping you achieve progress towards recovery & my clients often highlight how helpful & effective the shared therapy journey has been for them as they move forward.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
