About me

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when things have felt overwhelming or difficult for a while. I aim to offer a calm, collaborative space where you can properly explore what’s going on, while also working towards meaningful change. I am a BABCP accredited CBT therapist and IPT practitioner, offering online and face-to-face therapy on the Wirral. I work with anxiety, low mood, overthinking and interpersonal or relationship difficulties.

Alongside practical therapeutic strategies, I value creating space for deeper emotional understanding - looking at patterns, relationships and the way we make sense of our experiences.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a qualified CBT Therapist with a Master’s degree in Clinical Counselling, a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT), and specialist training in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). I am also BABCP accredited.

With over 13 years of experience working within mental health services, including NHS and private practice settings, I have supported individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. I have particular experience working with anxiety, depression, complex trauma, and interpersonal relationship difficulties.

My approach is warm, compassionate and collaborative, integrating evidence-based CBT and IPT approaches to help clients better understand their experiences, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change.
