As a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, I apply CBT in my areas of speciality experience such as: various anxiety disorders (GAD, OCD, PTSD, and social anxiety), panic attacks, depression disorders, anger-management, fears and phobias, adult survivors of child sexual abuse, stress management, self-esteem, confidence issues, and neurodiversity support.
Whether you are encountering long-term mental health difficulties, sustaining your mental-wellbeing, coping with a new problem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy can help you deal with depression to regain motivation in life, overcome anxiety and panic attacks to face fears, learn anger management to problem solve and resolve conflicts, manage uncontrollable negative thoughts, suicidal thoughts and behaviours, low self-esteem and self-confidence. CBT uses techniques to teach how to modify thinking, retraining your brain, helping you to learn how to control unwanted intrusive thoughts, reduce negative unhealthy emotions and behaviours.

My approach is integrative and tailored to each client, meaning our work is shaped around you, your needs, and what feels most helpful. Alongside active listening and reflection, I may introduce psychoeducation and practical tools to help increase self-awareness and manage distress. At times, our work may also help you notice patterns or perspectives that could be keeping you stuck, creating new ways of understanding yourself and responding to difficult situations.

Hi there. The decision to take time to engage in therapy is huge. Talking to a stranger & not knowing what to expect from them. Not every therapist is going to be a good fit for you. This is your service & you are paying for it. I always say our 1st appointment is about you taking charge, coming in & meeting me & deciding if this is going to be a good fit. If it is that's great, if its not and you feel comfortable to say this I will be delighted to recommend a colleague. I will fully support you in this. I take each person as they come and we work together at their pace. Everyone needs and deserves support.

I understand that reaching out for help requires significant courage. With this in mind, I offer a safe and confidential environment where we can collaboratively explore integrative and creative methods to transform thought patterns, foster personal growth, and develop lasting solutions to recurring challenges. My background includes working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, anger, trauma, abuse, grief, loss, and relationship difficulties, and I firmly believe that healing occurs in gradual, incremental steps.

It can be draining waking up day after day, heart racing, feeling on edge. Dealing with feelings of anxiety, or a consistent low mood, overthinking, or replaying worst-case scenarios in your head again and again. Friends and family are around you, and there for you, yet you still feel alone.
It's simply exhausting.
I understand how heavy this can feel, and I’m here to support you and help you find a way through it.

“I offer a warm and confidential space for you to bring whatever concerns and challenges you may have. The initial free consultation session allows you to share what you are coming for and also for us to see if it feels right to begin to work together. I work in a Relational and Mindful way and my priority is to create a sense of ease and safety within which we can explore the challenges you are experiencing.

Is life getting you down? Maybe you are experiencing challenges that feel relentless? Are you stressed, anxious, sad or depressed? Have you suffered a loss of some kind that you are struggling to cope with? Get the support you need to help you navigate any issues that keep you from enjoying life.

When we are suffering we tend to look at all that is wrong in our lives. We sometimes make judgements and assumptions about ourselves or our situations that focus mainly on the negative. We each have developed ways of being in the world that have enabled us to cope with whatever challenges we have had to face. These coping strategies become our defence mechanisms and are often developed by us at an early age when we had few resources. They can sometimes create negative patterns of relating to others and the world around us and become barriers to intimate or professional relationships.

Hi, and welcome to my page. I am a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I am a pre-accredited member of the IACP.

I work with adolescents, adults and groups, creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and free from “therapy robot” energy.
If food, body image, bingeing, purging, restricting, or constant thoughts about eating are taking up too much space in your life, you are not alone and you are absolutely welcome here. I work closely with people struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, body image difficulties, anxiety, and trauma. Often, these struggles can feel exhausting, isolating, and honestly… a bit like your brain has become an unpaid full-time critic. Together, we work to quiet that noise, untangle unhelpful patterns, and build a healthier, more compassionate relationship with food, your body and yourself.
