About me
I am a highly experienced, dual-qualified, BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural and Interpersonal Psychotherapist (IPT), with 18 years’ clinical experience and a background in forensic and liaison psychiatry.
I offer effective, personalised psychotherapy grounded in evidence-based approaches and your individual strengths. Together, we can help you adjust to major life changes, build self-esteem, reduce anxiety, improve relationships, manage stress and move towards recovery and fulfilment.
My experience spans a broad range of clinical specialisms and work with people from diverse backgrounds. I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental approach, drawing on CBT and IPT alongside third-wave therapies to help you understand your emotions, ease symptoms and overcome difficulties.
We will explore your current circumstances, develop a personalised understanding of your difficulties and identify what may be maintaining them. Therapy will be tailored to you rather than fitted to a template, with practical strategies to improve your situation. We will also consider your support network, your emotional relationship with yourself, and ways to overcome barriers to change and fulfilment.
Therapy begins with the possibility that things can change.
Therapy is available remotely or face to face.
