About me
When life becomes difficult we can find ourselves struggling to live it as fully as possible. This might be because of anxiety, depression, chronic illness, trauma or low self-esteem or difficulties forming or maintaining relationships. We can also find ourselves acting in ways that only cause us more hurt and pain, often without understanding why. Talking through these difficulties with someone can be the first step to turning life around. I have specialist training and experience in working with people who are adjusting to living life with a long-term physical health condition.
I am experienced in working with people in a safe and confidential space to identify, understand and change what is holding them back from living a more satisfying life. You may want to focus on a specific issue for a short time or work on wider, deeper or more long-standing issues over a longer period. I have specialist training and experience in two, evidence-based therapies, one for short-medium term work and the other for medium-long term work.
Beginning to talk about difficulties in therapy can feel daunting and it is my job to help you to feel more comfortable with doing so. If you would like to find out more about how we might work together, please don’t hesitate to make contact.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

Further information
If you would like to find out more about how I work, please contact me and I’ll be happy to arrange a time to discuss any questions or concerns, free of charge.
When meeting for an initial appointment, we can begin to understand the difficulties you are facing, what could be holding you back and look at options for change.
If you decide what I offer is a good match for you, we can then begin working on your difficulties together.
I am currently offering online therapy sessions or telephone sessions.
