I am an experienced Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist & EMDR Therapist with experience in both NHS and private practice. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) explores the link between what you do, what you think and how you feel. Unfortunately, life presents us with difficulties and usually we are able to cope well on our own with these situations. There are occasions, when for whatever reason, we need help from someone else, which is usually a friend,colleague or family member. Sometimes, however, you might find you have no one to turn to or talking to a friend or loved one seems too difficult, painful or just too complicated.

My approach is integrative, drawing on Transactional Analysis, psychodynamic, CBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I work with clients seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that shape how they relate to others. Many come to therapy to improve communication, navigate relationship difficulties, or break cycles of behaviour that no longer serve them. Using Transactional Analysis and psychodynamic theory, I help clients identify unhelpful patterns, explore their origins, and understand their impact in the present. This greater self-awareness can lead to healthier relationships, improved communication, and more choice in how they respond to life's challenges.

I specialise in OCD and "Pure O", combining first-line ERP with ACT, while integrating psychodynamic approaches to identify deeper relational patterns that may be driving obsessive symptoms.
I often work with people who, despite their best efforts, feel as though they are working against themselves when it comes to their goals and relationships. Even though they deeply want change, something keeps holding them back. This inner conflict can show up as anxiety, depression, OCD, intrusive thoughts, low self-worth, or a general sense of feeling stuck and unfulfilled. In therapy, I help you to gently uncover these hidden reasons, emotional conflicts, and resistances you may not be fully aware of. I offer a warm, steady, and non-judgmental space to explore these patterns at your own pace.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
