My approach is evidence-based: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and CBT-I for insomnia.
My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): learning to 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, alongside clinical roles at The Priory Group and St Barnabas Hospice.

I specialise in sleep issues including in neurodivergent people.
You’re probably functioning well by most measures. You show up with family and at work, you deliver, you hold things together. But you haven’t slept properly in a long time and the gap between how you look and how you actually feel is getting harder to sustain. The 3am wake. The mind that won’t stop. The moments where you’re just not yourself with the people who matter most. Some of the people I work with are also teenagers referred by their parents, who have tried everything available to them and are still watching their capable, driven young person quietly unravel ahead of exams, worried about what this might mean for them.

You might be coming to counselling for different reasons – including because you’re feeling anxious, depressed or lonely, because you’re facing life changes, or because you’re struggling to deal with something in your past.

Feeling stuck despite knowing you're capable of more?
I work with men who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties or low confidence and who want practical help to get life moving forwards again. Many of those who I work with have never had therapy before. They don't want years of analysing every thought—they want someone who will help them understand what's keeping them stuck, make sense of what's happening, and develop a clear plan for change.

Lasting change happens when we stop fighting our emotions and start understanding them. Are you struggling with anxiety, unresolved trauma, or mood that feels heavy? You might be functioning well on the surface, but underneath, you’re exhausted by patterns that no longer serve you. I believe that while you are the expert in your own life, everyone needs a guide to help navigate the fog. Together, we can work toward a genuine reconnection with your ideal self and create the lasting change you deserve.

Many people I work with are managing their lives outwardly — work, relationships, responsibilities — while internally feeling under pressure, overwhelmed, or close to exhaustion. They may have tried to make sense of what’s going on, but still feel stuck. People come to therapy with anxiety, the impact of past experiences, relationship difficulties, or during periods of crisis or transition. I offer a calm space to slow down, understand what feels difficult to carry, and begin to find a way forward.

Some struggle with poor sleep, self-doubt, or relationship tensions, including repeating attachment patterns that leave them feeling unseen or unfulfilled.
I specialise in supporting people under pressure by working collaboratively to reduce stress, lift low mood, and ease anxiety. Drawing on CBT, psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches, I tailor therapy to each person, helping with immediate challenges while exploring deeper patterns in how they relate to themselves and others.

How effective is treatment for insomnia?
The most effective treatments for insomnia are behavioral techniques that reduce anxiety, including anxiety about falling asleep, and allow the body’s natural cycles to be recalibrated. The most common treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which researchers have found to be more useful than medication, with rates of success as high as 80 percent.
Are there specific medications for sleep problems?
There are many medications, both over-the-counter and prescription that treat sleep problems. Supplements such as melatonin are popular and may help, though there is little evidence that it is more effective than a placebo. Prescription medications such as zolpidem are sometimes prescribed.
Are there natural treatments for sleep problems?
There are many natural treatments for everyday sleep problems. Reducing blue-light emitting screens, setting a regular bedtime, regular exercise, reducing caffeine and nicotine consumption, and keeping the bedroom dark and cool at night are all lifestyle changes that can help those who struggle with sleep but may not reach the level of an insomnia diagnosis.
What’s the difference between having trouble falling asleep and insomnia?
Life events, stress, and anxiety can lead to sleepless nights for everyone from time to time. To be diagnosed with insomnia, a patient must experience trouble falling asleep, trouble remaining asleep, waking up too early, or non-restorative sleep at least three nights per week for at least one month. Sleep problems affect one-third to one-half of the population, while chronic insomnia affects about 10 to 15 percent of people.
