About me

I have been a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist for the past 14 years and have extensive experience of working with a wide range of mental health issues. I am also a trained Mental Health Nurse and a trained trauma therapist, I am a qualified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy) Practitioner, accredited with UK and Europe. I specialise in working with self esteem issues and also trauma/distress. I am trained in Attachment focused trauma therapy.
In my view, CBT is fundamentally about self awareness, if you can increase your understanding of why you feel, think and behave the way you do then you have a choice, the choice to change.
I will work with you to gain a greater awareness of yourself, develop a shared understanding of your current difficulties and develop a collaborative individualised treatment plan to meet your needs and help you move forward and reach your goals.
I believe that greater self awareness and self kindness are the key to positive mental health, my work fosters these approaches.
I offer face to face, telephone or online therapy or a combination of these whatever suits you best.
I have experience and training in gender awareness issues and use the pronouns she/her.
