About me
I am an Accredited Cognitive Behaviour Therapist who also draws on a range of other approaches to meet the needs of each unique individual that comes for therapy. I have 30 years experience of working with individuals experiencing emotional health issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem to support each person in building their resilience and developing their overall well-being. Central to my work is to enable clients to be more self-compassionate and have the tools they need to live the lives they want.
I provide short or long-term therapy and sessions can be either online or in-person or telephone. I offer a low cost service, fees are based on what each person can afford.
