I am an experienced and highly qualified Mental Health Nurse, Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), and practitioner in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). With over 15 years of experience in mental health, I have led Community Mental Health Teams and provided both in-person and telemedicine therapy, including services in remote international locations. Currently, I specialize in delivering remote therapy for members of the veterinary profession, military veterans, and emergency services personnel.

I only use evidence-based practices, these include CBT, CPT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and mindfulness-based interventions. I have extensive experience in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, PTSD, and addictions.
Seeking help is a crucial step toward recovery. My approach focuses on empowering individuals to rediscover their potential, working collaboratively to establish therapeutic goals and develop a personalised treatment plan. Together, we will enhance your wellbeing, resilience, coping strategies, and overall recovery.
