About me

As a BABCP-accredited psychotherapist with over a decade of experience, I specialise in helping individuals overcome depression, anxiety disorders and complex post-traumatic stress disorder. My approach is holistic, integrating evidence-based techniques from cognitive-behavioural therapy, interpersonal psychotherapy, narrative therapy, and compassion-focused therapy. Each session is designed to provide a supportive space where we can collaboratively explore challenges, develop new coping strategies, and work towards meaningful change.

Mental health challenges can profoundly affect various aspects of life, from relationships to personal growth and self-esteem, often leaving us feeling stuck. In our sessions, I strive to create a secure and positive environment where you can gain confidence, break down barriers, and move forward. My goal is to empower you to lead a more fulfilling life by addressing the causes that keep your struggles going.

I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation, giving you the opportunity to discuss your needs and ask any questions in a no-pressure way. This initial call allows us to explore how therapy can support your well-being and help you make informed decisions about the next steps in your journey.
 

Schedule your complimentary 30-minute call today, and we can think about how to help in more detail.

Experience

For many years I  offered treatments within the NHS, holding positions within primary care and a specialist trauma service. Within my daily work, I offered clinical supervision to trainees, junior clinicians and peers. I also participated in several clinical research trials, offering psychotherapy. 

I have worked for many years as a specialist Occupational Therapist, supporting clients with severe mental and emotional distress, both in hospital and community settings. I do not currently offer this service privately, however, I remain accredited and registered with the HCPC. My clinical experience here helps me consider both personal and environmental adaptations needed to support change outside of the therapy room.
