About me
I offer Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for the treatment of depression and a range of common anxiety disorders. I offer CBT for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with extensive experience of working with emergency response services and with military veterans. I offer CBT to include assessment of current difficulties, planning sessions with you to get what you want from the therapy, regular CBT sessions including materials for use in between sessions, regular reviews of how you are finding the therapy sessions and preparing for ending therapy. I provide CBT for major private healthcare services and for self-referrals.
I am an experienced online CBT Therapist, offering sessions via video using a secure online platform with a single click for ease of use. I welcome enquiries for in-person sessions at various locations.
For qualified and trainee therapy professionals, I offer clinical supervision and tutoring.

I am a qualified Counsellor and member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Registered MBACP).

I am an experienced Therapist Educator in Higher Education and continuing professional development, including training NHS therapists and I am a fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
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.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
