About me

I am a registered Counselling Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), bringing extensive experience in supporting clients dealing with anxiety, depression, personality disorders, trauma, and more. With over nine years in the mental health field across private, public, and voluntary sectors, my therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based strategies rooted in current psychological research.

My interventions draw from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), and a Person-centred approach. I work with both adults and children.

I believe in personalised treatment tailored to meet your specific needs. By exploring past and present experiences that have shaped you, we work together to modify current thoughts and behaviours towards your desired outcomes. Clients develop effective coping strategies, regain a secure sense of self, and progress towards their goals.

When working with children aged 5 and up, I recognise that younger children may express themselves best through play therapy. This approach provides a safe environment for children to explore and process their challenging and potentially traumatic experiences.
