About me

I am a compassionate and dedicated Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) with extensive experience in mental health, having worked in various NHS settings since 2005. My journey has taken me through local NHS Talking Therapy services, and now I work independently in the Christchurch area. I strive to create a warm, inviting space where my clients feel safe and supported as they navigate their challenges.

I offer flexible therapy options to suit different needs, including telephone and online video sessions for those who prefer the comfort and convenience of having therapy at home or within the workplace, and walk-and-talk therapy sessions for those who find peace in nature. Many of my clients from across the UK have expressed how surprisingly personal and effective online therapy can be. And for those who enjoy the outdoors, 'walk and talk' therapy not only provides an alternative setting but also harnesses the calming influence of nature to help reduce stress.

As an accredited CBT therapist with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), I am committed to upholding the highest standards of practice and professional development. My training equips me to provide the best, evidence-based treatment possible while ensuring that I am developing personally and professionally through regular supervision. CBT is a recommended therapeutic approach by NICE (www.nice.org.uk) for a variety of emotional difficulties, including Depression, Low self-esteem, Stress, Anxiety, Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Social Anxiety, Phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Health Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Trauma. 

Together, we will work to establish a shared understanding of your concerns, exploring the connections between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is my goal to help you build self-awareness and insight, empowering you to make positive changes and feel better. I understand that finding the right therapist is a crucial step in your journey, which is why I offer a free 15-minute initial telephone or online consultation. This allows us to discuss your needs and explore whether I am the right fit for you. I genuinely look forward to hearing from you and supporting you on your path to a brighter future.
