About me
I am an accredited CBT and EMDR therapist and clinical supervisor working within the NHS, with over 10 years experience across NHS services, private practice, and national charities.
I work with people experiencing anxiety, low mood, and more persistent or complex difficulties, particularly where things feel stuck or keep returning despite efforts to manage them.
I aim to offer a space where you feel able to talk openly, while also keeping therapy focused and purposeful. Together, we look at what is keeping the difficulty going and find practical ways to begin changing it at a pace that feels manageable.
Therapy tends to work best when there is a shared focus and a willingness to try things between sessions. This is something we approach collaboratively.
Approach
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), alongside EMDR, where appropriate, both of which are structured and evidence-based approaches recommended for anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD.
In practice, this means we work together to understand the patterns behind what you’re experiencing, and then take practical steps to help shift them. This might include exploring unhelpful thinking patterns, reducing avoidance, and gradually building confidence in situations that currently feel difficult.
The aim is not just to feel better in the moment, but to make changes that continue beyond therapy.
About Valued Living
Valued Living is a service made up of experienced therapists and psychologists, all trained and experienced within the NHS.
We aim to provide high-quality therapy in a way that feels accessible and straightforward, without long waiting times or unnecessary delays. We offer flexible appointments between 9am and 9pm throughout the week, so therapy can fit around your existing commitments.
We also recognise that it can be difficult to know where to start. From the point of referral, we use our experience to help guide you towards the most appropriate type of support.
If you are considering therapy and feel this approach might be a good fit, you are very welcome to get in touch. One of our team will usually respond within a day to arrange an initial conversation and discuss next steps.
