About me

Experienced BABCP Accredited, Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT). Over 13 years in this role and another 20 years in the caring professions. Working previously for the NHS in this capacity but now solely in private practice. Using a compassionate focussed therapy approach to treatment, as I understand it can be very hard to come and share your most difficult thoughts and feelings, at a time when you are feeling vulnerable.
I also weave though Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as needed.

Due to working for many years in the caring professions, including work as an Occupational Therapist, I have also gained experience of both physical disabilities/long term conditions and the low mood and anxieties that can often accompany them.
We will work together to tailor a treatment plan to your needs, as everyone is so very different.

Neurodiversity is both an area of interest and experience, both within my family and client work.
I am an LGBTQ+ ally.

Short term and longer term therapy, depending on need.
