About me
As an accredited CBT and EMDR therapist, I work with individuals experiencing a variety of issues, such as CPTSD, PTSD, neurodiversity, anxiety disorders, depression, low self-esteem, personality difficulties, and grief. I am also passionate in supporting women experiencing the psychological symptoms of peri/menopause & PMDD.
Witnessing the power of therapy truly is a remarkable experience that I feel extremely privileged to be part of. If you are struggling right now, please reach out as my aim is to facilitate your ability to heal and help support you transition into a more fulfilling and rewarding life.

In the past 18 years I have gained an extensive amount of knowledge working both as a Psychiatric nurse/prescriber and Psychotherapist in a variety of MH settings. These settings include Prisons, Forensic & acute wards, rehabilitation and community services. These settings allowed me to work with many patients/clients experiencing a variety of MH difficulties. I have a specialism in Trauma which I developed working as an EMDR therapist in prisons/forensic settings.
I also have a specialism in women's hormonal health and women experiencing the psychological symptoms of Peri/Menopause & PMDD that I developed working as a MH nurse Practitioner in a GP surgery.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.

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).
