About me

I offer CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) for the treatment of many mental health problems, and am fully accredited by the BABCP (British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies).
During therapy, I use the evidence-based principles of CBT to help you better understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours in real-time. This is achieved by learning how to use CBT techniques and strategies in your day-to-day life.
With practice, these tools for life will help you achieve better mental health and wellbeing going forward, and I will guide you in how to use them effectively.
CBT often focuses on treating one specific diagnosis at a time. But our mental health is rarely that orderly. Many people don't fit neatly into a single category�or they may deal with multiple issues all at the same time. I prefer to adopt a transdiagnostic approach to CBT which helps recognise this complexity.
I particularly enjoy working with mindfulness and acceptance and find these approaches very helpful in CBT treatments.
I am also offering outdoor 'walk and talk' therapy which integrates traditional therapeutic techniques with the healing power of the natural environment. Sessions take place in outdoor settings� woodlands, or coastal paths�combining physical movement, nature connection, and therapeutic conversation to support psychological wellbeing.
Therapy sessions are offered either face to face at Dacrelands Clinic in Lancaster, online using Zoom platform, or outdoors in a rural North Lancashire location. A combination of all three could be a consideration.
From Feb 2026, I will also be offering EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) as a trainee for PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). This is a highly effective, NICE-recommended treatment to help reduce distress from traumatic memories and associated symptoms.
