I specialise in trauma, PTSD, anxiety disorders (including OCD, health anxiety, and social anxiety), and depression.
You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, or the emotional weight of past experiences. Perhaps you find yourself caught in patterns of self-criticism, shame, or fear, unsure how to move forward yet knowing you want something to change. Maybe you’ve been carrying these struggles alone for a long time and are now seeking support that feels safe, understanding, grounded, and informed. You may want to feel more in control of your direction, build a kinder relationship with yourself, and reconnect with your confidence, values, goals, and the people who matter most to you.

Many of the people I work with describe feeling stuck in patterns that leave them drained, saying yes when they want to say no, overthinking every little thing or feeling like their mind never switches off. Sometimes it's the opposite, feeling paralysed by indecision, stuck in procrastination and avoidance. Often there can be a background noise of persistent self-doubt or maybe guilt. Therapy might offer an opportunity to understand what’s really going on, not just the symptoms but the patterns, pressures and histories driving them. Sometimes this can be about making changes in our ways of thinking, feeling and behaving.

With over 15 years experience, every single client I worked with was ideal to me, as being unique, with his/her story, difficulties, weaknesses but also strengths. At times clients come to therapy with a specific goal, other times they do not have a clue, and this is part of the process. If a client is now reading my profile, he/she may be struggling with a recent or more long-standing emotional distress, not able to sleep, concentrate, work, relate to others, etc. He/she may be worrying about what to say to a psychologist; what to expect; possibly fearful of being judged, not understood; if the psychologist would be good enough...

Hello, we are the Integrative Centre for OCD Therapy.
We are integrative at our core. Which means we often integrate two or more therapies to meet the needs of the individual. Each of our therapists come with a wealth of training in different therapies, however the foundation of what we do is exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

I work with capable adults navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, grief, insomnia and burnout — the overthinking, the avoidance, the loops you can't think your way out of.
My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping you relate differently to anxious thoughts, self-criticism, and difficult emotions. As an Integrative Psychotherapist (MBACP), I tailor every session to you. I lecture in ACT at Canterbury Christ Church University and hold clinical roles at The Priory Group and St Barnabas Hospice.

I work with adults from all backgrounds and I bring lived experience to my work in areas including family and relationships, cancer, OCD, neurodiversity, intrusive thoughts, menopause and supporting people living without children.
I offer sessions face to face in my safe & comfy therapy room based in Walton on the Naze, I also work online, so wherever you are in the world. Feeling stuck, anxious, or not quite yourself — but unsure whether therapy is for you? Many people come to therapy feeling exactly this way, often after trying to manage alone for a long time. I’m an experienced therapist offering a warm, supportive space to explore what’s happening for you. I don’t see therapy as a last resort — it’s something I use myself when I need support and clarity. If this hits home, I invite you to get in touch for an initial chat.

Anxiety is a natural part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can stop you from doing what matters most—perhaps spending time with loved ones, trying new experiences, or simply feeling at ease. In an effort to cope, it's easy to fall into patterns that make anxiety worse, leaving you feeling stuck or isolated. You might build walls to protect yourself from disappointing others or feeling embarrassed, but those same walls can push people away, leaving you more disconnected. My approach is centered on creating a compassionate, safe space where we can explore the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are holding you back.

Success is often depicted as a series of milestones achieved through talent, hard work, and perseverance. Yet, there’s a hidden dimension to success that goes beyond external accomplishments. The "secret language of success" includes understanding and overcoming personal emotional challenges that can impede our progress. Every successful individual has faced various personal challenges. Typically, the impact of such challenges goes unnoticed for quite some time. Anxiety can make it hard for us to focus and perform. Depression can cast a shadow over our aspirations. Low self-esteem and self-doubt can inhibit our confidence.
