I often help those with severe low mood, anxiety or past trauma experiences which derail them from their personal, social and vocational goals. I apply a range of psychological therapies which are individually tailored to help you with distressing thoughts, feelings (anger, anxiety or low mood), sensations, and self-limiting behaviours. These methods will enable you to manage your distress, move closer to achieving your personal ambitions, reach your potential, and enhance your relationships with others.

I see clients in my Liverpool city centre office and online. Human minds don’t fit a single template and effective therapy shouldn’t either. We start with you in mind, what’s going on for you, how you process thoughts, feelings, emotions and environments and what outcomes you’d like to see. I’m a specialist in neurodiversity. I’ve learnt and keep learning from leading edge research to develop neuro affirming therapies that are effective.

Welcome. As an experienced Psychotherapist I deal with a vast amount of issues. Are you stressed with your home and/or work problems and find just everyday functioning really difficult. Do you think you should be able to cope? If you've ever wondered whether therapy is "for you", you're not alone. Many people sit with this question for a very long time before deciding to reaching out. Signs that therapy might be helpful - you're overwhelmed or stuck. You're constantly anxious, overthinking everything, your usual ways of coping don't seem to be working anymore. You really don't need to hit 'rock bottom' to start therapy.

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and I provide psychological therapy for adults facing challenges with emotional difficulties such as anxiety, grief, trauma related issues and low mood. We all experience low mood and anxiety at times in our lives. Sometimes this can feel difficult to manage and psychological therapy can help. An area of specialism is Clinical Health Psychology, helping people whose psychological difficulties relate to dealing with physical illness such as cancer. Some people I work with have a history of difficult experiences in childhood or traumatic experiences at any stage in life.

In therapy, we can explore client's personal values and lived experiences, and work towards realistic Therapy Goals using a constructive and collaborative approach. Clients will explore the relationship between how we interpret our life situations, our thinking patterns and how we behave in relation to a situation. As many clients that contact me have busy schedules and life commitments, online sessions can be a valuable alternative to having to attend in person. I am well experienced in providing therapy remotely as well as in person sessions. Clients can access both CBT and EMDR therapy online.

Within my practice I provide a safe, non-judgemental, professional and confidential environment in which you can explore whatever you feel necessary. Through exploring these issues, we can both begin to understand what is happening and why. This process can assist in self-understanding which in-turn boosts self-confidence and compassion. With this knowledge you may then become empowered to make the necessary changes needed in your life to address whatever has been causing the discomfort.
