I’m a CBT and EMDR trauma-informed therapist with 20 years of experience across the NHS and private practice. I work privately with adults navigating anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, and the deeper patterns that don’t always shift with standard approaches alone. I have a particular focus on late-diagnosed adults and women with ADHD, where presentations are often tangled up with anxiety, burnout, emotional dysregulation, and long-standing relational patterns. I use schema-focused approaches alongside CBT and EMDR to work at a deeper level; not just managing symptoms, but understanding where they come from.
I specialise in late-diagnosed ADHD, anxiety, low self esteem in adults and teenagers where anxiety, burnout, and emotional dysregulation are often tangled together. Using CBT, EMDR, and schema-focused approaches, I work at the deeper level; not just managing symptoms, but understanding where they come from. Warm, collaborative, and practically grounded.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted, you don’t have to carry it alone. I bring warmth, curiosity, & care to the work, alongside practical techniques that help you feel safer & more resourced in everyday life. Therapy with me is a collaborative process. One where your experiences are respected and your cultural context understood.
