I’m a psychological therapist in the NHS with 14 years experience working with adults who have mental health difficulties due to trauma in child/ adulthood, as well as anxiety, bipolar, OCD, depression, ADHD, autism, intrusive thoughts, and phobias. Seeking therapy can be daunting, especially when you have been carrying pain for a long time. You may be living with the effects of bullying, childhood sexual abuse, difficulties with parents, or patterns in your adult relationships that leave you feeling hurt, confused, or stuck. My approach focuses on helping you develop deeper self-understanding, emotional awareness, and resilience.
I am a registered CBT practitioner with an MSc in psychoanalytic approaches who offers a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where we can explore your experiences together. I will be alongside you as you begin to make sense of difficulties, understand links between your past and present, and the emotional impact this continues to have on your life.
Therapy is not about being “fixed.” It is about helping you understand yourself more fully, so that you can make conscious choices about how you want to live now. While I cannot take away what has happened to you, I can support you in facing it, processing it, and moving forward with greater clarity and strength.
I look forward to working with you.
