I support young people (6+) and adults navigating the challenges of anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and low self-esteem. Whether you identify as neurotypical or neurodivergent, I provide a grounded, professional space for those who feel stuck by overthinking, OCD, or phobias. With 7 years of CAMHS expertise, I am highly experienced in tailoring CBT to meet diverse needs. As a neuro-affirmed therapist with personal lived experience of ADHD, I offer specialised, sensory-aware support for ADHD and Autistic clients, ensuring therapy is accessible and affirming for every brain.
I offer evidence-based CBT tailored to your specific needs. My specialisms include GAD, Social Anxiety, phobias, OCD, BDD, PTSD and Panic. My approach is neuro-affirming; I adapt traditional CBT to be sensory-aware and accessible. With a background in Victim Support, I also bring a trauma-informed lens to help you build resilience and lasting change.
You don’t have to navigate this difficult time alone. I offer a warm, genuine, and approachable partnership to help you reclaim your life. My goal is to empower you with the tools to move forward with clarity and confidence. If you’re looking for an expert who is also deeply human, please reach out today to book a free 15-minute consultation.
