About me
Our mental health is equally as important as our physical health, and although reaching out for therapy is a brave step, it can also be a very daunting one. This was certainly how I felt when I had my own battle with depression many years ago. But it was also because of my experience that I developed a passion for helping others struggling with their mood and pursued a career in mental health.
As a fully qualified and accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist working both in the NHS and privately, I am able to assess your current mood difficulties and teach you how to apply CBT in order to feel better.
I have experience of supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds and of using CBT to treat a variety of mental health difficulties. These include Depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, General Anxiety Disorder, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, Illness Anxiety and Specific Phobias. I am also qualified and experienced in helping those struggling with mental health issues as a result of, or in combination with, long term physical health conditions.

Experience
I have been helping people address their mental health problems since 2013 when I joined the NHS. I continue to enjoy working in the community for the NHS alongside my private practice. I attend regular training in order to keep up-to-date with my clinical skills, but also to maintain my full accreditation with the BABCP.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
