About me
I work with men who experience intrusive anxious thoughts that can sometimes set them into a spiral or down a rabbit hole of overthinking. These thoughts can come out of nowhere, feel hard to switch off and and take you away from things that are important to you, like feeling present with your family, friends or partner.
Most of the men I support are high-functioning but exhausted. They're managing pressures with work, responsibilities at home and a mind that won't slow down. This can be tough. I help men steady their thoughts and build practical tools to feel calmer and more in control.
I specialise in working with men who struggle with anxiety, especially intrusive thoughts. I help you build the practical tools and knowledge so you can feel more calmer, more confident and more in control. I use compassion focused therapy, a grounded and strengths-based approach that helps men develop courage and confidence.
It can be tough living with spiralling thoughts, especially when it feels like they come out of nowhere. You're not the only one who feels this way and you don't have to keep dealing with it on your own. If you'd like to talk or want to see whether therapy could help, feel free to reach out.
Training, qualifications & experience
I'm a registered psychologist with a Doctorate in Clinical & Forensic Psychology and specialist training in Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), emotion regulation, and stress management. For the last 15 years, I have worked with men who experienced a range of mental health difficulties.
My extensive experience spans private practice, NHS inpatient, and community services. I focus on practical tools, emotional regulation skills, and building confidence.
