About me
I offer a confidential and supportive space to explore the challenges you may be facing with anxiety, health anxiety, or the emotional impact of managing a long-term condition. These experiences can feel overwhelming, but with the right support, it is possible to regain a sense of balance and control.
Alongside this, I have developed a specialist interest in supporting people with tinnitus and balance (audiovestibular) difficulties, conditions that are often closely linked with anxiety. I also work with individuals managing ADHD, offering strategies to navigate the emotional and practical challenges that can arise.
As an integrative psychologist, I draw on evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT-informed approaches). This allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs, helping you reduce distress, develop practical coping strategies, and move towards your goals.
I am a fully qualified counselling psychologist, registered with the HCPC, with experience across the NHS, private practice, and the third sector. My focus is on creating a collaborative, compassionate space where you can better understand yourself, navigate obstacles, and build confidence in managing both your mental health and physical wellbeing.

In our first session, you can expect:
Once we have made contact with each other, we will organise a time for an initial consultation. This will be an opportunity for you to talk openly about whatever is on your mind. We will use this as a chance to think about what might work best for your particular circumstances. You will be able to ask questions and then together, we will create a plan for our work together.
