About me
If you’re here, you might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or seeking guidance through a challenging time. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling lost, my goal is to offer you a safe space where healing, growth, and understanding can begin.
What sets my approach apart is the incorporation of the latest scientific advancements in our understanding of the brain and mind with genuine compassion and empathy. I specialise in providing evidence-backed psychological guidance to individuals navigating various mental health concerns. My commitment to evidence-based practice means you can be confident that you will be receiving a treatment that has research demonstrated effectiveness and is NICE recommended.
I also value the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for healing and growth. Feeling able to trust your therapist is essential. I will strive to create for you a non-judgmental and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly.
My therapeutic style is collaborative and individually tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, particularly cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and transdiagnostic approaches, to create you an integrative customised treatment plan backed by the best available research and clinical evidence.
Ultimately, my aim is to help you as much and as quickly as possible. I genuinely want to see you succeed and achieve your goals.
If you feel ready to take the first step towards positive change, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can work towards unlocking your inner resilience and creating a life filled with meaning, purpose and fulfillment.
