About us

Maybe you're someone who usually copes. You get things done, other people rely on you and, on paper at least, things might look pretty good. Or perhaps you've reached a point where you're really not coping at all.

You might be overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in your head, putting huge pressure on yourself or struggling with something that's happened. Sometimes the ways we've always managed just stop working.

I offer online Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for adults across the UK. We'll start by making sense of what's happening and why, looking at the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Then we'll work together on practical changes that can make a genuine difference to how you feel and live.

I use CBT, but therapy isn't a formula. I'll shape our work around you, what you need and what you want to change. My approach is warm, straightforward, and collaborative - you'll be actively involved in understanding what's happening and finding a way forward that feels realistic for you.

You don't need to have worked out exactly what's wrong, or even know what you want from therapy, before getting in touch. We can work that out together.

Finding the right therapist matters, so I offer a free 15-minute introductory call where you can ask questions, tell me a little about what's bringing you to therapy, and get a feel for whether I might be the right person for you.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP).

I completed my FdSc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with Distinction at Warwickshire College University Centre, following earlier counselling training with CPCAB.

Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked as a paramedic and have extensive experience working within healthcare. This background has given me a strong understanding of the pressures that can come with demanding careers, responsibility, stress and significant life experiences.

My clinical work is informed by evidence-based CBT alongside person-centred, compassion-focused and trauma-informed approaches where appropriate. I undertake regular clinical supervision with a Clinical Psychologist and ongoing continuing professional development.

Member organisations *

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

We have verified that at least one professional at this organisation is registered with the relevant professional body.
