About me

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but I believe it is one of the most empowering investments you can make in yourself. Whether you are navigating a specific mental health challenge or feeling held back by your current routine, I am here to help you move forward at a pace that feels right for you.​

With a background in diverse NHS primary care settings, I am a BABCP-accredited psychotherapist. I provide evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) that is deeply rooted in collaboration and compassion. I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach; instead, I tailor our sessions to your unique perspective, ensuring you feel heard and supported throughout our work together.

I have completed training in CBT for long-term health conditions, Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, and I am a trained supervisor for both low and high-intensity CBT practitioners. I am committed to providing high-quality care infused with compassion to support you in overcoming your difficulties, and reach your goals at your pace.

As a therapist, my approach is naturally influenced by my passions, both personally and professionally. I have worked with universities in tutoring and mentoring the next generation of therapists, and strongly value passing down knowledge to those completing their training. I thoroughly enjoy being a part of people's development, and apply this to my therapeutic work too.

I also have a keen interest in exercise and lifestyle; having undertaken a Sport Psychology Masters, I have developed a knowledge base on the impact of wellbeing on performance, which can apply to many other areas of life. A big pillar to our health is made up of several lifestyle factors (e.g. exercise, diet and sleep), and incorporating this into the work I do has been incredibly beneficial to enhancing clients' wellbeing.

I can offer a free 15 minute initial consultation, whereby we can discuss what areas you would like support with and determine whether we are the right fit. If you would like to book a consultation, please feel free to contact me with your availability via email.
