Our fees range per session depending on the service you require and which therapist you see.

About Me
I am an experienced and compassionate Therapist & DBT Practitioner and specialise in working with Personality Disorder, ADHD, Autism and Complex Trauma. There are a great many cross overs in the presentation of these complex presentations and therefore I focus on offering therapy that targets the symptoms of emotional hypersensitivity and neurodiversity moreover the diagnosis per se.
I am registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and am a member of the Society for DBT (SfDBT).
How I work
I offer DBT informed psychotherapy on an individual basis as well as a fully adherent DBT service that includes a group component.
Individual psychotherapy involves traditional talking therapy, exploring why an individual may think, feel and behave the way they do in order to promote insight and change. I integrate a lot of practical skills to support resilience in the immediate term.
Fully adherent DBT is suited to individuals who present with significant risk factors such as suicidality, self harm, and addictions, and dysfunctional relationships. This is an intensive and specialist service.
I also offer services for family and friends of those who struggle with severe and enduring mental health problems by means of coaching.
