• Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)

About me

I qualified as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (Oxford University) in 2011 whilst working for a Primary Mental Healthcare Service.I became an independent practitioner in 2015 as NHS treatment targets were negatively impacting my ability to deliver therapy to my preferred standard.
Prior to the above I enjoyed a long career in the NHS as both a general and mental health nurse. During this part of my career, I became increasingly curious about human nature and the benefits of listening and talking in order to enable patients to cope with stress and distress in a variety of clinical situations.
Currently, I treat a wide range of anxiety and mood disorders using CBT and I have a special interest in perinatalinatal disorders (see below).
The treatment process should feel open,safe and collaborative and sessions begin with eatablishing a shared understanding of your current difficulties and what you hope might be different at the end of the therapy period.
Please feel free to contact me to ask any questions that you may have, or just to get a sense of me as a person. Feeling that you will be able to put your trust in your therapist is essential.
