About me
I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist accredited with the BABCP. My core training was in depression and anxiety disorders and I am also a trained Cognitive Behavioural Couples therapist working for two years as a private practitioner in Central London.
First and foremost, I consider it a priority that you feel comfortable to discuss personal and sensitive matters in confidence. Secondly that you develop a tangible understanding of your problems so that you can make the changes needed to improve your circumstances significantly
