About me
I have 10 years of experience delivering CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), looking at how to change unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns, helping you feel more balanced and happier again. I have extensive experience with Anxiety (general, social, and phobias), OCD, and Low Self-esteem. I also practice as a DIT (Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy) therapist, where I help people to make sense of relational difficulties, their attachment styles, where this comes from, and how to move towards healthier relationships and self-understanding. I believe in a tailored approach, adapting our work to who you are.
I create a caring and warm environment where you feel safe to make changes. We will work as a team to process your experience and develop your self-understanding. In CBT, we use a practical approach to arrive at a healthier mindset. Whereas DIT explores how early experiences shaped how you attach to people, and how current relationships can be improved.
I offer both online and face-to-face sessions. We can have a free 30-minute call where you can ask me any questions you may have, and I can get a brief understanding of what is going on for you. You can see if you feel we could be a good fit, and we can explore what a piece of work together might look like.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have worked in NHS Talking Therapies Services delivering CBT and DIT therapies for adults. I also have a Master's (MSc) in Psychodynamics of Human Development. I am accredited with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (for CBT therapy) and with the British Psychoanalytic Council (for DIT therapy).
