About me

Hello, I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT). I have been working in the NHS since 2014, specialising in working with adults and children with depression and anxiety disorders (for example PTSD, Social Anxiety, OCD etc). I have an interest in attachment, and trauma.

Additionally I am a counselling psychologist in training. Therefore I offer an integrative approach to therapy.

I offer a free consultation of fifteen minutes as an initial screening to understand goals, and hopes for therapy to make sure you can sense if this therapy and our therapeutic relationship is right for you. 

Thank you for visiting my site. It can be quite daunting finding a therapist that suits you, so I hope you are able to find a therapist that does.
