About me

Are negative self-defeating thoughts holding you back in life? Perhaps your thoughts are keeping you awake at night, and you feel stuck in a situation in which you feel unfulfilled. Perhaps you are outwardly successful, but inside, you are caught in a pattern that leaves you feeling stuck, stressed, or unfulfilled. Perhaps life for you feel like a constant battle with self-doubt, self-criticism, or cycles of overthinking being mainly at the centre. 
Many of my clients come to me because they’re struggling with such symptoms. This can result in them experiencing anxiety and depression or low self-esteem, which is negatively impacting on their relationship at home, work, and/or socially. Whether you are trying to cope with these challenges, which may have come from current/historical experiences or trauma related experiences including attachment difficulties, I want you to know I am here to support you to make meaningful change and growth in your life.
As a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and Clinical Supervisor with over 20 years of experience across the NHS, third sector, and private practice, I bring a depth of expertise in psychological assessment and therapeutic intervention which is based on scientific research. I offer a unique, client-cantered approach that prioritizes your individuality, tailoring the therapeutic process to your specific needs and goals. These approaches include evidence-based therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused CBT, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy with a foundation of a person-centred approach. Whether, integrating several approaches or focusing on a single model, I ensure that the therapy we build together genuinely reflects who you are and your aims in therapy. My work canters around creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and supported in your journey toward change. Together, we’ll explore and address whatever is holding you back in life, helping you foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships both with others and with yourself to guide you towards the life you deserve.

I am available to offer you both face to face consultations or via the Zoom platform where you can meet with me from the comfort of your own surroundings. But before you decide please take advantage of my FREE, no obligation, 20-minute phone or Zoom consultation. Just click the link on my website and drop me an email advising me of your availability and we can arrange a meeting.
