About me
I am passionate about positive emotional wellbeing after being on a journey of my own (as we all are). I believe that through access to constructive, evidence based therapy we can work together to improve how you feel.
I know coming to therapy can be difficult and sometimes scary so I want to welcome you and let you know I'll try my best to put you at ease. We can take it step by step together.
I love my job. I find it a huge honour to be trusted with people's stories and to be part of supporting them to work towards better emotional wellbeing.
WHAT I TREAT
I treat anxiety, depression, generalised anxiety disorder, feeling sad, social anxiety, low self confidence, stress and trauma among many other difficulties. I am a qualified CBT and EMDR therapist.
SESSIONS
A session is 1hr Video call for CBT. We will explore the issues that are currently troubling you and think about your goals for therapy. Then we will create a therapy plan together to develop and test out tools to reduce your symptoms.
CONTACT ME
Please email me with any questions or concerns, I will try to help.

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).
