Living with chronic pain or a long-term health condition like diabetes, cardiac issues, pulmonary disorders, or cancer? I help clients reclaim meaningful lives despite physical limitations and health challenges. As a former NHS team leader who developed pioneering therapeutic programs (including one of the first long COVID support groups), I bring specialised training and extensive experience to our work together. My expertise combines evidence-based approaches—CBT, ACT, and EMDR—specifically tailored for chronic condition management.
I understand that physical symptoms often bring emotional struggles. Whether you're experiencing depression following diagnosis, pain that limits daily activities, anxiety about symptom progression, or grief for your pre-diagnosis life, therapy provides a space to address both physical and emotional dimensions of chronic illness.
I work with clients globally via online sessions. Together, we'll develop practical skills to reduce symptom flare-ups, process the emotional impact of your condition, and build a rich, fulfilling life alongside your health challenges, not defined by them.

The main treatment approaches I use are CBT and ACT. These compliment each other well, and offer an explanation for why we feel the way we do. They also provide opportunities to make a difference in your life.
