About me

With over 20 years experience supporting people with mental health difficulties, I work collaboratively with clients to help them make meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

As a qualified and accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, I provide thorough assessment and evidence based therapy for a wide range of concerns, including complex trauma, anxiety disorders, OCD, PTSD, generalised anxiety disorder, health anxiety, social anxiety, chronic and recurrent depression, and challenges related to neurodiversity and to long term physical health conditions and pain.

I am also trained in EMDR and have extensive experience working within specialist trauma services. This includes supporting individuals with complex childhood trauma as well as those experiencing PTSD following specific incidents.

A core part of my approach is tailoring therapy to each individuals unique needs. I have extensive experience adapting therapeutic methods for clients with autism, ADHD and individuals with additional sensory needs, ensuring that therapy feels accessible, supportive and meaningful.

With gentle curiosity and a strong focus on partnership, I work with clients to build a shared understanding of their difficulties and to develop a personalised, comprehensive treatment plan. Sessions can include psycho-education and practical resources, and together we work towards a relapse prevention plan so that clients can continue benefiting long after the therapy concludes.
