You may be the person everyone relies on while privately feeling anxious, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break. I help adults break free from these patterns using structured, practical CBT. Together, we’ll understand what’s keeping your difficulties going and develop strategies to help you feel calmer, more grounded, and more in control. I’m an accredited CBT therapist with over 18 years’ experience in community mental health services, supporting people with anxiety, OCD, low mood, trauma, and long-standing patterns of worry and self-criticism.
With over 18 years’ experience in community mental health services, I’m comfortable working with complex or long-standing difficulties. My approach is structured, supportive, and collaborative, helping clients feel understood while building practical tools to manage challenges more effectively and create meaningful, lasting change.
I understand how exhausting it can feel to live with anxiety, low mood, or intrusive thoughts—especially when things have been difficult for a long time or haven’t improved as you’d hoped. You don’t have to manage this alone. If this resonates, reaching out could be a helpful first step toward feeling more in control and moving forward.
