About me

I am a qualified Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) practitioner with 8 years experience. I am accredited by the Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT). I have 10 years experience working for the NHS offering therapeutic interventions to clients age 16-65, experiencing a wide range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, bi-polar, personality disorder, childhood trauma and relationship difficulties. In addition to this I have been working privately for the last 4 years.

CAT is a collaborative programme for looking at the way a person thinks, feels and acts and the events and relationships that underlie these experiences (often from childhood). It is a time-limited therapy-between 8 and 24 weeks, but typically 16.

I am also a qualified Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) Practitioner. I do not offer formal DBT, however, I sometimes draw upon DBT skills within the CAT sessions to help clients think about helpful coping strategies they can use.

Due to the current circumstances I am seeing clients via Zoom. I have availability on Monday and Tuesday between 9-6pm. I also have some availability in the evenings on Wednesday and Thursday and on Friday morning.

If you would like to know more I would be happy to have a chat with you over the phone or you can send me an email.
