About me

I am a CBT practitioner and I specialise in treating social anxiety and ocd, including self esteem issues.

Do you ever feel frustrated or hopeless or stuck?  Do you feel trapped in a cycle that you can’t seem to get out of - whether it’s an issue with work, relationships, self destructive habits or anything else you can’t see a way out of?

I am always encouraged by the results that can be achieved through CBT practices, so together we can hope to uncover who you could be if you are able to throw off all limitations and live with confidence knowing exactly who you are!
