About me

I'm an experienced, diversely-qualified psychological therapist who has had the privilege of providing therapeutic interventions in a wide variety of settings, including private practice and fifteen years of experience in the NHS.

It is not the case that 'one size fits all' when it comes to psychological therapy and it is for this reason that I have developed the skills to work with a diverse range of difficulties and preferences. I am a qualified, registered mental health nurse, accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and I am also qualified in EMDR and Couples Therapy for Depression. Latterly, I gained a Postgraduate Certificate in Psychosexual Therapy. My most recent experience is in working with people with depression and/or anxiety-related problems (including PTSD, OCD, generalised anxiety, social anxiety and health anxiety), within private practice and, prior to this, an NHS psychological therapies service.

Over the years, I have undertaken training in many other areas, including complex trauma; eating disorders; and adapting therapy to meet the needs of various minority, and often marginalised, groups. During the course of my mental health career, I have been introduced to and developed skills in various other therapies, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness, which I incorporate into my work as needed.
