About me

I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and an IPTUK accredited Interpersonal Psychotherapist (IPT).

I have extensive experience of working with a range of mental health difficulties including depression, low self esteem, social anxiety disorder, health anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, body dysmorphic disorder and phobias (including emetaphobia).

I have additional training in adapting CBT for long term physical health conditions (LTC). In particular, I have considerable experience of working with people struggling with chronic pain and/or fatigue.

I am also an accredited in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), an evidence based treatment which explores the link between depression and relationships. This approach equips me well to support people who are struggling following big life changes, relational conflict or complicated bereavement.

I understand the importance of providing a non-judgmental and compassionate space for my clients. I believe effective therapy is grounded in collaboration and developing a shared understanding and goals. My therapeutic approach is informed by the most up to date developments in evidence based practice.
