About me

I am currently employed as a Senior CBT Therapist, EMDR Therapist, and Clinical Supervisor for the NHS, with over 10 years of experience working in clinical settings supporting clients with varied mental health needs.

I am dedicated to helping people manage their difficulties using Cognitive and Behavioural approaches. Understanding that starting therapy can be stressful, I strive to create a warm, friendly, and safe space for you to work through your challenges. My goal is to teach you the necessary skills to manage difficult emotions and move forward with your life. I specialize in treating depression, PTSD, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, and relational issues.

About CBT

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is one of the most research-based approaches and is ideal for those looking for a more structured approach. It has proven to be the most effective treatment for depression and a variety of anxiety issues such as excessive worry, panic attacks, social anxiety, health anxiety, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

CBT seeks to help you to understand your difficulties through examining the way you think about your difficulties (the cognitive part) and how you respond to your situation (the behavioural part). Your therapist will then teach you the skills to manage your situation and move forward.
