About me
Hello, I am a psychotherapist, supporting people with a wide range of difficulties. I work in both private practice and within the NHS, providing cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), EMDR, couples therapy and supervision for therapists. I combine evidence-based techniques with a compassionate, person-centred approach.
I can support you through providing effective treatment for a range of difficulties, including anxiety, OCD, phobias, depression, trauma responses (including PTSD), and long standing issues with self esteem.
I am a fully qualified couples therapist, dedicated to supporting partners as they work through challenging dynamics and strive to strengthen their relationships. My couples therapy sessions provide a safe, non-judgemental environment where each partner is encouraged to express their thoughts and feelings openly. I support couples to develop healthier communication styles, resolve conflicts constructively, and rebuild trust where it has been damaged. Whether you are facing ongoing disagreements, difficulties with intimacy, or navigating significant life changes together, I tailor each session to address your unique needs and goals as a couple.
I also hold specialist qualifications as an EMDR therapist, offering effective treatment for trauma and childhood relational difficulties.
I offer a free 20 minute introductory call / initial consultation.
