About me

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD/trauma, phobias, including emetophobia , tokophobia, panic attacks, health anxiety or other common mental health difficulties, I would love to talk to you in a free 15 minute consultation to see how I  could help. 
I am a qualified CBT and EMDR therapist. You can have sessions online therapy via video link or face to face in Ipswich. Other areas in Suffolk and north Essex can be arranged. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I am a fully qualified and accredited CBT therapist. I trained with UEA in 2019 and have worked full time as a therapist since. In 2025 I completed additional training in EMDR to enhance my ability to support people experiencing trauma and PTSD. I am a qualified EMDR therapist.

I also have a psychology degree and have worked as a teacher and family support worker, all of which add to my skill set of working with and supporting people to achieve their goals.

Further information

If you are  looking to work with a therapist who works with people as individuals to help them overcome their difficulties and achieve what is important to them, then I can offer you that.

I offer an approach which includes mindfulness, compassion focussed therapy (CFT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) strategies used in combination with CBT, evidence based protocols.

You may work best with me if you prefer a down to earth therapist who has a wealth of life and professional experiences that they can lean on to work collaboratively with you, to provide a bespoke support package that suits you as a unique individual.

You may prefer to work on the telephone or online, where I can offer you sessions on Google meets, FaceTime or WhatsApp. If you prefer to work face to face, I currently rent a room close to Ipswich waterfront where we have a private comfortable space. I am happy to travel to other locations in Suffolk and North Essex with prior agreement.
