Many of the people I work with arrive having carried something for too long. Senior professionals running on empty, whose sleep and sense of self have started to fray. Women with PMDD — the condition I wrote and published a book on — who have spent years being told what they experience is just "normal PMS". People living with the after-effects of trauma that never properly settled. What they share is being capable, articulate adults who have nonetheless reached the point of needing help. I work with all of that — at the pace your system can tolerate, with rigour, and without pretending therapy is a cure.
My core training is CBT at degree level (BSc Hons), with further training in mindfulness-based therapy, ACT, and person-centred work. I hold specialist certificates in trauma and in CBT for Insomnia. I am a Senior Accredited Member of the BACP (MBACP Snr Accred), aligned to SCoPEd Band C — the highest band of the framework.
Reaching out is often the hardest step — particularly when you are someone other people lean on. You don't have to be certain. You don't have to know exactly what you want to say. A free 15-minute consultation costs nothing, commits you to nothing, and gives you a chance to ask anything you want before deciding. When you feel ready, I am here.
