About me
I am an Accredited Cognitive Behaviour Therapist who also draws on 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, PTSD, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem. 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 offer online or in-person or telephone, short-term or long-term therapy.

BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists.
