About me

I am passionate about supporting clients to bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be, with the use of evidence based therapeutic approaches. I endeavour to provide a safe, calm and comfortable space where clients can feel heard and understood. I am accredited by the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy (BABCP) to practice as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have over 10 years of experience working with people experiencing a wide variety of difficulties such as depression, anxiety disorders, sleep problems, stress and low self-esteem.
