About me
I prioritise a person-centred approach that is non-judgmental and respectful. I want to help clients understand their distress and make some helpful desired changes for themselves if needed. I have several years of experience working within the mental health sector, both within the NHS and in private practice; I am a BABCP Accredited CBT Psychotherapist and currently training as a Counselling Psychologist for Continuous Professional Development (CPD). I offer therapeutic intervention for anxiety, depression, trauma and specific anxiety presentations such as OCD, social anxiety and phobias. I can assess with clients their main concerns/difficulties, and agree on a plan of sessions.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have specialist Postgraduate training and BABCP Accreditation in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and I also use integrative approaches such as Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I have worked with clients across most ages 6 years to older adults in both NHS settings and private practice, and consider developmental history and lifespan stages thoughtfully with clients in assessment and ongoing sessions. I also have specialist (Masters) knowledge in neurodiversity (autism and ADHD overlapping with mental health) and can adapt sessions according to client needs as well as help clients understand more about their neurodiversity.
