About me

If you're reading this, life may feel overwhelming right now. Perhaps anxiety is stopping you from living the life you want, trauma from the past is still affecting you today, or depression has left you feeling exhausted, stuck or disconnected from yourself. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to face it alone.

I'm an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) with 20 years' experience working in NHS mental health services and private practice. I also offer EMDR therapy for trauma and PTSD. Throughout my career I've supported people experiencing anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, health anxiety, panic, phobias and the emotional impact of long-term health conditions.

I believe therapy should feel like a genuine partnership. My aim is to create a calm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you feel heard and understood. Together we'll make sense of what's keeping you stuck and develop practical, evidence-based strategies that help you move towards the life you want to live.

Every person is different, so I tailor therapy to your individual needs. Alongside CBT and EMDR, I draw upon approaches such as mindfulness, compassion-focused therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) where these are helpful.

Clients often tell me they appreciate my warm, down-to-earth style and my ability to balance compassion with practical change. Whether you're facing a recent difficulty or have been struggling for many years, my goal is to help you build confidence, regain hope and feel more like yourself again.
