I am a trained Registered General Nurse, who specialised in Cardiac nursing. I trained in psychological therapy in 2004 and worked as a therapist in the NHS until 2022 leaving to focus on private practise.I have many years experience working in the NHS as a therapist as well as in private practise working with a wide range of mental health difficulties/complexity.
Throughout my career I have always valued and continued with my professional development,with a view to providing the best therapy I can for clients.
I am a qualified Person Centred therapist (counsellor). I have a Degree in Nursing, Counselling and a Post Graduate Certificate in CBT. I am an Accredited CBT therapist and an Accredited EMDR therapist. I have also trained in Interpersonal Therapy for Depression and am an Accredited IPT Therapist.
I work with age ranges 16 and above with varying severities of depression and complexity, as well as a range of anxiety disorders, such as generalised anxiety, health anxiety, panic disorder, social phobia, general phobias, obsessive compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder and post traumatic stress/complex ptsd.

I also work with clients, who have long term health conditions. Clients who experience interpersonal difficulties, difficulties managing conflict,maintaining healthy boundaries with others or sustaining relationships or coping with adjustment to a change in role, general life changes, bereavement or experiencing other types of loss such as an ending of a relationship. I have completed further training to work with clients who are adjusting to the menopause and work with clients with adhd and autism. More recently I have attended training for couples counselling.
Being from a nursing background I can fully appreciate the impact of physical health changes on mental health I can provide IPT ( A) for adolescents
I can be very flexible in terms of times for appointments and can if required provide an early appointment before work or in the evening, if that makes it easier to attend therapy.
