About me

Do you negatively judge yourself? Do you find it difficult to be assertive? Do you feel you are not good enough?  If so, you may be suffering with low self-esteem.

I have struggled with low self-esteem, so I understand how difficult it is and the negative effect it can have on day to day life. It can lead to other disorders such as depression and anxiety. 

CBT therapy can transform your view of yourself, others and the world to enable you to become much more confident in your view of yourself.

I have helped clients transform themselves which led to them ending therapy feeling much happier. 

As well as low self-esteem, I also help treat depression, and anxiety disorders such as social anxiety, health anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, OCD and generalised anxiety. 

I currently have space available for new clients. Please feel free to e-mail me to arrange an initial conversation. We can then discuss what you hope to achieve through our sessions together. We can create a plan of action on what this would look like going forward. 

I provide either face to face or online therapy. With online therapy, I am flexible with regards to availability.

Further information

I specialise in the treatment of Low self-esteem using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, however I can treat other disorders such as Depression, Social Anxiety , Panic disorder, Health anxiety, OCD, Phobias and Generalised Anxiety.

The first couple of sessions would involve getting to know each other and to establish what your presenting issues are. We would then work together to decide which area to focus on which would provide the most benefit.

CBT involves carrying some activities between sessions in order to get the most out of therapy.
