About me

Introduction: I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping people to overcome mental health problems.

I believe therapy provides a safe and supportive space in which you can talk openly, explore your thoughts and feelings and make meaningful change in your life.

My therapy style is warm, compassionate and collaborative.

I work closely alongside you to tailor sessions to your specific needs.

I will ensure you feel heard and comfortable throughout the process.

Personal philosophy and goals: I believe that everyone has the ability to change and grow.

Therapy is a powerful way to unlock this potential.

My role is to support you on this journey, help you to overcome challenges and support you to create a life in which you feel fulfilled.

Experience: I have been practicing as a therapist for 7 years, during which I have worked for the NHS.

I specialise in helping people with depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms and long-term health conditions.

I have undertaken training in delivering CBT for long-term health conditions.

Education: I earned my Psychology degree at Coventry University in 1999.

I have also gained a postgraduate diploma in Applied Psychological Therapies.

This has given me the skills and knowledge that shape my work today.

My interest in Psychology started during my A-Levels, where I became interested in how the mind works and how mental health can impact our daily lives.

My interest in helping people with long-term health conditions began when I developed a long-term health condition and realised the impact this was having on my own mental health.

Training: I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which helps people change unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns.

I also have trained in adapting CBT for long-term health conditions.

I am an accredited therapist with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (CBT), which means I am committed to high standards of care.
