About me

I am a BABCP accredited therapist offering face to face sessions at the Whitefield & Radcliffe Holistic Centre. I am proud to have worked for 36 years in the NHS, for 24 years as a registered mental health nurse and 12 years as CBT therapist. I retired in 2022 but still use my skills and experience to help people overcome mental health difficulties and lead rewarding lives. I work part-time.

I use evidence-based CBT approaches to treat depression and anxiety disorders. I have training and experience in a variety of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Meta-cognitive therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention and Behavioural Activation. After assessment I can explain what approaches and methods might be helpful and let you choose what you think will be most useful to your situation and learning style.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a powerful approach that aims to help people live fulfilling, rich and meaningful lives by a) learning new skills to handle difficult thoughts and feelings more effectively and to live in the present and b) clarifying values, setting meaningful goals, and doing things that expand life and make it more rewarding in the long run. I and many of my past clients have found this approach very effective, rewarding and even life-changing
