I specialize in anxiety, depression, panic disorders, insomnia, couples therapy, addiction and child/adolescent therapy. I work together with you to help understand and overcome difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviors .

In addition I have experience both privately and in the NHS with child/adolescent  related issues, usually with anxiety, depression,  low self esteem, eating disorders, self harm or sleep problems.
