“Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul, just be another human soul”- Carl Jung

I am a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and a registered mental health nurse (NMC). I have a genuine passion for helping people overcome emotional difficulties and rediscover their inner strength and confidence. Over the years, I have continued to develop my knowledge and skills within the NHS setting to offer evidence-based therapies tailored to each person's treatment plan. My clinical practice is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based approach recommended by NICE for a wide range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, and trauma-related conditions.

Alongside CBT, I have undertaken further training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), where clinically appropriate, to support the processing of traumatic memories within an individualised treatment plan. I also hold qualifications in Clinical Hypnotherapy, which may be incorporated selectively as an adjunct to therapy when it supports your goals and is appropriate for your needs. Whatever techniques are used, my approach remains collaborative, formulation-driven, and tailored specifically to you as an individual.

While effective therapeutic techniques are important, I believe strongly that the relationship we build together is just as valuable. I aim to provide a safe, warm, supportive, and non-judgemental space where you feel listened to, understood, and comfortable enough to be yourself. Kindness, trust, authenticity, and, where appropriate, a little humour are all part of how I work. Alongside evidence-based therapy, I believe genuine human connection creates the foundation for meaningful and lasting change.

I primarily work with people experiencing anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, stress-related difficulties, and low self-confidence. Together, we begin to develop a shared understanding of the factors maintaining your difficulties before creating a structured treatment plan that reflects your goals. Therapy is never one-size-fits-all; whilst CBT forms the foundation of my work, EMDR and other therapeutic techniques may be integrated where they are likely to enhance treatment and improve outcomes.

Every person's experience is unique, which is why I tailor therapy to your individual needs and goals, ensuring we work together at a pace that feels comfortable and right for you. I aim to help you feel understood, supported, and empowered as you reconnect with your own inner strength and confidence.
