About Me

Choosing the right therapist for you is an important part of embarking on therapy. Here I explain a little of how I work and what you can expect from therapy.

What is most important for me is that you feel you can be listened to and understood without judgement in a safe and confidential space. I have helped a diverse range of individuals and draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to enhance wellbeing, reduce distress and help you to connect more fully with what you most value in life. I work with a range of difficulties- including but not limited to- anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, depression, grief and loss, low self-esteem and confidence, eating concerns, personality disorders and psychological adjustment to long-term health conditions.

We work together to develop a shared understanding of where difficulties may have originated and what can keep you stuck and to try out new ways of being. I offer both time-limited and more open-ended therapy options that we can discuss and agree together at the beginning of therapy and that can also be reviewed as we go along.

Training: Doctorate in Clinical Psychology; Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) Practitioner and Psychotherapist.

Therapies offered: Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), Humanistic, Systemic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) including Mindfulness, Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I also offer training, consultation and supervision.

Fees: Free initial 20 minute telephone consultation; £90 per session (face-to-face or online).

I work with

  • Companies
  • Individuals
  • Private healthcare referrals

Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

I work with a range of anxiety disorders as well as concurrent depression.
I have a special interest in eating related distress and difficulties; I have conducted research into Binge Eating Disorder (BED) and overweight/obesity.
With a relational approach at the heart of the therapy I provide, I can support individuals experiencing relational difficulties, helping people understand their approach to relationships, including understanding the role of (self-)sabotage, and how such patterns may connect to early relational experiences.
