About me

Hi, I�m an experienced therapist with fifteen years working in the NHS and independently. I love helping people to overcome their problems and have an excellent record of doing that with a diverse group of clients.

I can help with a wide range of issues, such as symptoms of anxiety and depression and the vulnerabilities which can sometimes under-pin these. These issues can include low self-esteem, eating disorders, body image issues, perfectionism, addictions, relationship issues and past traumas or abuse, to name a few.

I will bring a warm, engaging and collaborative spirit to our work to meet your needs flexibly. We might start by understanding any patterns or experiences that have led you to feel distressed and then draw these together into a visual map that explains what�s keeping you stuck. We will then work together to find the steps that work to release you from these old familiar patterns. These might be drawn from your strengths and life experiences or from some of the powerful techniques for �head and heart� change that I have used to help people countless times.


The ideas and techniques that I use to help come from a range of different therapies. Many of these come from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Schema Therapy but I also have training in other approaches including Interpersonal Therapy and Mindfulness. Within all of this the biggest resource is often our relationship, providing a safe place to step back and begin to see things in a different way. Techniques to change unhelpful behaviours, challenge unhelpful thinking and transform your �felt sense� are often also essential to the work. Many of these become tools that you can draw on beyond the sessions as you learn to become your own skilful helper.

In a later phase of therapy we might start to meet less frequently, focussing on strengthening the progress you have made in our work, as well as making a plan for coping if things change.

If you are curious about us working together, please get in touch so that we can talk about how I can help you make the changes you need to start thriving again.
