Do you find yourself constantly worrying, caught in a cycle of overthinking, or feeling like life is passing you by? Are you often feelings stuck in "what if" thoughts, or struggling with intrusive and negative thoughts that seem impossible to escape? Maybe you’re feeling low, unmotivated, or questioning your self-worth—wondering why it’s so hard to enjoy the things that once brought you happiness, or why you often find yourself not feeling present in the moment. Maybe leading to avoidance of certain work and social situations. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone (even if it feels that way).
I offer a wealth of experience and expertise from over 20 years of practice and extensive training. I provide a warm, engaging, and personalised assessment to identify the areas you'd like to address. Together, we’ll use CBT to understand your challenges, develop practical strategies, and create lasting, positive change in your life.
Many people can find it hard to make that first step into therapy. I have the experience to support you and guide you. It’s completely understandable to feel daunted. I offer free consultations to help you feel at ease. Please reach out, and together we can explore how CBT can help you make positive changes. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have experience and success in supporting recovery from a wide range of anxiety disorders, low mood, panic attacks, and low self esteem. During our initial sessions we would spend time looking at what the contributing factors are in leading to your concern. We would define a goal you wish to work towards, and most people start to see changes and develop new skills within a few sessions.
