About me
You may appear to be coping well, while privately feeling caught up in worry, self-doubt or overthinking. You might replay conversations, worry about making the wrong decision, seek reassurance, or spend a lot of time checking and reviewing things. You may find uncertainty difficult or experience intrusive thoughts that leave you questioning yourself. Anxiety and OCD can also show up through perfectionism, procrastination, people-pleasing, avoidance, checking or trying to feel completely certain before making a decision. These things can help in the short term, but often keep anxiety going over time.
I offer a warm, collaborative and honest space with no pressure to get things 'right' or move at a certain pace. Together we’ll map what keeps you stuck, understand the patterns and pressures shaping your life, and experiment with practical tools for change. My approach is flexible, supportive, and tailored to you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I’m a qualified and accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I use “third-wave” therapies, which means taking the most relevant aspects of Compassion-Focused, Acceptance and Commitment and Cognitive Behavioural therapies to tailor to your needs. Additionally, for challenges with OCD I use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).
I have over 9 years of experience working across diverse mental health backgrounds, and have been providing CBT for most of those years. My experience has meant I've been lucky enough to support people across all walks of life. I understand that every situation is unique and life can be incredibly challenging.

Further information
I appreciate that beginning therapy can be quite anxiety provoking in itself and you might now know where to start or if you’re finding a good match. I’m happy to chat further so that you can get a sense of how I can help, and you can see if we feel like a good fit.
