I am a Counselling Psychologist, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I have worked in the NHS for over 15 years providing therapy to adults with a range of difficulties, such as depression, anxiety disorders and trauma. I also provide supervision for other therapists.

Type of Therapy offered

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
• Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
• Drawing on tools from Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Approach

To get the most out of therapy, it is really important that you feel comfortable and safe – so this is my priority throughout.

Every person coming to therapy is different, and will therefore need a tailored and unique approach. I draw on different models to make sure that the therapy is the right fit for each person.

Therapy sessions will be geared around the goals that are important to you. First we will try to make sense of the difficulties you are experiencing, how they have developed over time and what might be keeping these difficulties going. Once this is better understood, it becomes easier to make steps towards managing these issues. My hope is that you will take away tools and techniques that you can use in your everyday life.
