About me
I’m a BABCP-accredited psychotherapist and trained EMDR practitioner with more than 10 years’ experience across NHS, private, academic, and high-pressure clinical settings, including Broadmoor Hospital and the University of Cambridge. I also have a lived understanding of high-performance environments, which is one reason I work well with high-achieving professionals and business owners.
I like to think of my approach as the antidote to Americanised, airy-fairy therapy. It’s more engineering than incense: quantify what we can, make things explicit, understand the variables, and change the response. That does not mean therapy has to feel heavy and serious. We can talk about difficult things, have a laugh when life is being ridiculous, and still stay focused on the work.
Training, qualifications & experience
What qualifies me to help you?
From high-secure mental health hospitals to working as a mental health advisor for the University of Cambridge, my clinical experience spans a wide range of settings and individuals.
The UK private therapy sector is poorly regulated, making it difficult to distinguish between evidence-based practitioners and 'having a chat'.
I am an accredited member of the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy (BABCP), a standard that reflects extensive postgraduate training and supervised clinical practice.
I have worked across NHS specialist services, higher education, and private practice with individuals operating under very different levels of responsibility and public scrutiny. This has included people in senior leadership, professional sport, and public-facing roles, as well as those managing significant personal and social adversity.
All of my work is conducted with the highest standard of discretion and confidentiality in line with my professional and ethical guidelines.
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.
