About me
I believe in taking a holistic approach to therapy. I use evidence based techniques and work collaboratively with my clients to help them achieve their goals. I believe everyone has the potential for growth and change, and that therapy can unlock that potential. I provide a safe and supportive environment where my clients can explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviours without judgement.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully accredited BABCP therapist, trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT); Compassion-Focussed Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). With extensive experience working with both adults, children and families. I previously worked as a registered mental health nurse for many years.
Member organisations

Further information
A key element of a successful therapeutic intervention is creating a relaxed, positive environment in which therapeutic relationships can flourish. Mindfulness is central to my approach, enabling both adults and young people to develop long-term coping strategies to live fulfilling and productive lives free of the constraints of such things as trauma, depression, mental illness and anxiety. Mental health affects everyone - not just those who have experienced severe trauma. My mission is to provide the highest standard of care possible to those who embark on a therapeutic journey with me.
