About me
I have 13 years experience within NHS, charity and private settings as a therapist and supervisor. I worked in documentaries and current affairs journalism for 12 years before this.
I take a collaborative approach to therapy ranging from clear advice and evidence-based techniques using CBT to a counselling-informed way of working, creating space to understand thoughts and feelings.
I am always happy to discuss therapy before agreeing to meet.
