About me
I offer a comfortable, confidential and safe therapy space focused on you and your needs. I give clients the time to explore, reflect and learn new ways to manage your emotional wellbeing, in a way that feels helpful and sustainable as they move forward through the different stages of their lives. I prioritise the development of a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard and validated.
As a therapist I work flexibly and creatively, providing a safe and comfortable environment and allowing clients to express themselves freely. I offer a warm and welcoming space where trust and respect are paramount. I welcome clients’ uniqueness and am always sensitive and curious to the specific needs of those I am working with.
I work with clients who are experiencing a whole range of anxiety disorders, depression, low self-esteem and with those who have experienced trauma in their lives, also drawing on mindfulness, compassion focused and acceptance and commitment therapy. I always work through this in a way and at a pace that works for the individual, allowing clients to process life experiences and equipping and empowering them to take control of their own emotional wellbeing.
I offer both short and long-term therapy for adults, both in person and remotely to allow you to access support that meets your needs.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BABCP accredited cognitive behavioural therapist (CBT) and Eye movement desensitisation reprocessing (EMDR) therapist. I completed my CBT training at Royal Holloway University whilst working in an NHS setting in London. My EMDR training was completed with Richman EMSR training also in London. I previously worked for several years within the NHS as a CBT therapist in Hammersmith and Fulham before joining The Therapy Practice London based in the East Village of the Olympic Park in Stratford, working privately offering CBT and EMDR to a range of individuals with a variety of difficulties. I have now moved back to Nottingham and am offering therapy locally.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
