About me

My goal is to empower people to reduce the impact of anxiety on their lives and to equip you with the tools to feel more in control of your choices. 

I specialise in:

  • Anxiety problems (e.g. generalised anxiety, panic, health anxiety)
  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

If anxiety is a challenge in your life, it likely stems from a history of anxious moments that may have begun in childhood or emerged during a difficult period or significant event. I use EMDR to break those anxiety patterns, and CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people develop simple and effective strategies and tools for managing life's challenges.

If you find yourself reacting in unhelpful ways and have struggled to change them, EMDR may help soften those survival-based responses (fear, worry, intrusive thoughts, anger, etc.). This can reduce the urge to avoid important situations or push yourself through them with difficulty.

I take a person-centred approach, tailoring CBT and EMDR to suit each individual’s unique needs and experiences.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 11 years of experience in the NHS, specialising in PTSD, trauma and anxiety disorders. I currently run a private clinic for adults. 

I have a particular interest in OCD and am currently developing a CBT- and EMDR-based framework to help reduce the impact of misophonia in people's lives. This approach may be especially beneficial for individuals who have a history of anxiety alongside misophonia.
