About me

As a Chartered Counselling Psychologist, registered with both the HCPC and BPS, I offer assessment and evidence-based therapeutic intervention for my clients. I have specialist expertise in supporting individuals who are dealing with chronic stress, self-esteem issues, depression, trauma, and anxiety (whether generalised, social, or performance-related). I am trained in a range of therapeutic models, including CBT and EMDR. Primarily I use a person-centred approach, tailoring other therapies to meet your unique needs and circumstances.

I specialise in working with high-performance individuals, including elite athletes and have experience working with clients across a range of sports organisations, including premier league football clubs, the RFU (Rugby Football Union), and RYA (Royal Yachting Association). I also proudly contribute to the UK Sports Institute Mental Health Practitioner Network. This is an exclusive network of practitioners that support the mental health of Olympic and Paralympic athletes as they navigate world-class programmes.

My area of expertise is in helping high performers navigate the demands of their careers and personal lives, unlocking their full potential while maintaining balance and mental clarity, which optimises mental resilience in both areas. Whether you are new to therapy or have prior experience, I provide a confidential, supportive, and research-informed approach to help you explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours fostering a deeper understanding of yourself and your challenges. By focusing on the development of effective coping mechanisms, emotional regulation, and overall personal growth, my goal is to facilitate meaningful, sustainable change, enhancing your mental fitness and wellbeing.

I combine private practice with an NHS role as a specialist counselling psychologist. Within my private practice, I offer both face-to-face sessions at my clinic in Lymm and remote therapy for clients further afield through BUPA. If you have any further questions or to book a session, please get in touch.
