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.

Member organisations
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.
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).
