About me
About Me
You don’t have to face anxiety, depression or trauma alone.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by distressing thoughts, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or burdened by past experiences, therapy can help you make sense of what you're going through—and find a path forward that feels more manageable and hopeful.
I'm a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with almost 20 years' experience supporting adults across the NHS, private, and independent sectors. I specialise in helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD. I also bring a growing focus on neurodivergence to my work, underpinned by additional training and lived experience.
Whether you’re struggling to cope, wanting to understand yourself better, or simply feeling that something needs to change—I offer a space where you can feel supported, respected, and understood.
My Approach
I tailor therapy to meet your individual needs—there’s no one-size-fits-all. Together, we’ll find an approach that suits your personality, goals, and the issues you’re facing. I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies, including:
CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) – to explore how your thoughts, feelings and behaviours are connected, and build new coping strategies.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) – to process traumatic or distressing experiences in a safe, structured way.
CFT (Compassion-Focused Therapy) – to reduce harsh self-criticism and build a kinder relationship with yourself.
ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) – to help you make room for difficult emotions and focus on what truly matters to you.
Somatic and Ego State Approaches – to support deeper healing by working with mind-body connection and parts of self.
What to Expect
Reaching out for support can feel daunting—I understand that. That’s why I offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences at your own pace.
Ready to Take the First Step?
If you’re ready to make a change, or simply want to explore whether therapy could help, I’d be happy to offer a free initial consultation. We’ll talk about what’s going on for you and how we might work together.
