About me

I am an experienced mental health practitioner with over 20 years of clinical practice, primarily within the NHS, working across both child and adult mental health services. Throughout my career, I have developed extensive specialist expertise in complex mental health presentations and Tier 3 addiction services. I have worked as a Senior Specialist Substance Misuse Consultant within multidisciplinary teams, supporting children, young people, young offenders, and their families.

Since 2020, I have specialised in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and am fully BABCP accredited. I provide evidence-based treatment for a range of difficulties, including depression, low self-esteem, women's health, sports injuries and anxiety disorders such as Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), social anxiety, health anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), specific phobias, and challenges related to long-term health conditions.

I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals to improve their psychological wellbeing. Through CBT, I help clients identify and challenge unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour, enabling them to develop healthier perspectives and more adaptive coping strategies. This process supports meaningful and lasting change in how individuals think, feel, and behave.

In addition to my mental health work, I am a qualified Sports Massage Therapist (since 2014), with a particular interest in the connection between physical health and psychological wellbeing. I have extensive experience working with athletes, including cyclists, footballers, weightlifters, and marathon runners. My approach recognises the impact of injury, recovery, and long-term physical conditions on mental health, and integrates both physical and psychological perspectives to support overall wellbeing.

Research interests

I have a particular interest in women’s health and sports injury, as both areas often involve a strong interaction between physical experiences and psychological wellbeing. Challenges such as injury, recovery, hormonal changes, and long-term health conditions can significantly impact mood, confidence, and identity. CBT provides a practical and evidence-based framework to help individuals understand and manage these difficulties, supporting them to adapt, build resilience, and develop healthier coping strategies during periods of physical and emotional change.

Personal interests

I value the importance of walking, nature, art, and outdoor activities in supporting mental wellbeing. These activities can reduce stress, improve mood, and encourage mindfulness by helping individuals stay present. From a CBT perspective, they support positive behavioural change, reduce avoidance, and promote healthier thinking patterns, contributing to improved emotional balance and overall wellbeing.
