About me
I am a Health Psychologist, CBT therapist and EMDR therapist, registered with the HCPC and BABCP. I provide support to individuals experiencing common mental health difficulties, such as; depression, general anxiety, low self-esteem, social anxiety, health anxiety, PTSD, OCD, panic disorder, phobias, BDD and living with chronic health conditions.
Over the years I have helped people from all walks of life. Every person’s experience is unique and I will always try to tailor my approach accordingly, working in an evidence-based way and in line with my professional code of ethics. I consider it a privilege to be able to support people, often when they are at their most vulnerable and will do my best to help in a compassionate and non-judgmental manner.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
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).
