About me

I’ve been a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist for over 10 years and offer CBT therapy services to children, teenagers, and adults in Lancashire, Greater Manchester, or Online (securely via Zoom, Skype, etc).

I’m a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).

I’m a dedicated Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, who will support you to achieve your treatment goals. I specialise in helping my clients to overcome their difficulties with anxiety, depression, or other mental health problems.

In addition to working with adults, my work with children and young adults spans over 20 years – from school teaching to therapy with children.

I have trained in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Metacognitive Therapy, and Bereavement counseling for children.
To assess a person’s needs, I carry out a full case conceptualisation using a formulation to best inform treatment.

As CPD I have trained in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Metacognitive Therapy, and Bereavement counseling for children.
To assess a person’s needs, I carry out a full case conceptualisation using a formulation to best inform treatment.

I fit a disorder-specific evidence-based CBT treatment with flexibility, drawing from additional approaches if helpful. My passion is enabling children and adults to maximize their potential by working collaboratively to meet their treatment goals by using a combination of symptom reduction protocols in addition to Positive Psychology.

I have supervised trainee CBT Therapists working with children, adolescents, and adults in addition to qualified therapists in a variety of settings including CAMHS, schools, the NHS, and private practice.
I also deliver whole staff training in mental health for school staff and children, using CBT techniques.
