Life can be challenging, and reaching out for support isn't always easy. You may be feeling anxious, low in mood, or trying to resolve an issue that just doesn’t seem to go away. At Time4Talk, I offer a warm and non-judgemental therapeutic space for adults — where, with cognitive behavioural therapy we can explore unhelpful patterns, set meaningful goals, and work towards change.
Working together, I'll help you identify thoughts and behaviours contributing to emotional distress. Each intervention is thoughtfully tailored to equip you with the skills and strategies needed to move forward and achieve your goals and build resilience.
I am an experienced mental health practitioner, with over 15 years in the UK’s National Health Service, supporting a diverse range of clients with evidence-based interventions for: anxiety disorders, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, low self-esteem, perfectionism, loneliness, and anger management.
