I am a highly empathic, friendly and professional therapist with over 15 years experience. I offer an accepting & safe space to help clients overcome the barriers that stop them living life the way they want to. I utilise traditional CBT, EMDR & other approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), compassion focused therapy, attachment-informed EMDR and Parts work, to offer a flexible and individualised treatment process. I love what I do and have always wanted to be a therapist, I often fell into this role in my personal life and have dedicated my life to supporting others to live the life they want.

I am a BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist and EMDR Practitioner. I provide 1:1 sessions to adults over 18 years of age, experiencing emotional and psychological difficulties, such as anxiety (including health anxiety, social anxiety and OCD), depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD, low self-esteem and work-related stress.

I have been studying psychology for nearly 30 years & am always learning new skills to help my clients. Learning to cope with adult life and our human experience is hard, I bring a very human, compassionate & also pragmatic approach to help people develop self-acceptance, work through their difficulties and develop skills to live a fulfilling life.

I often use EMDR, CBT and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) in my practice. In our first session, we explore what you would currently like to work on. I will then propose some treatment ideas, explaining what they entail. During treatment, I'll help you utilise therapeutic strategies and help you work through challenges to help change your feelings for the better.
