I specialise in working with post traumatic stress and moral injury, including occupational trauma faced by veterans, emergency services and health and social care workers. I have ten years of NHS experience including providing support to hospital staff, many of whom work in high-stress environments, and working with complex post traumatic stress including asylum seeker and refugee populations. This wide range of experience has deepened my understanding of trauma, burnout, and the emotional toll of high-pressure roles, which I bring to my work with professionals.

I'm here to help you find your answers.

I use CBT and EMDR to treat people with a variety of mental health conditions, including: depression, low self-esteem, anxiety and worry, panic, health anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), stress, imposter syndrome, sleep difficulties and loneliness.

I’m happy to work with them to facilitate treatment and can offer a split invoice if your workplace are able to cover some of the session fee.

Many people seek therapy when they are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves and their lives. You may be looking for a different approach after trying to manage on your own or finding that previous therapy hasn’t quite felt like the right fit.
You might find yourself wanting space to think more clearly, to make sense of things, or to reconnect with what feels important. You might be curious about a more experiential and embodied way of working therapeutically. I offer outdoor therapy in natural spaces across East Yorkshire, where we work together in a living environment rather than inside a therapy room.

Anxiety Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
