About me

I am a BABCP-accredited cognitive behavioural therapist (CBT) and EMDR Europe-accredited therapist, currently delivering psychotherapies privately. I also worked as a clinical supervisor for a high-intensity CBT therapist at the University of Birmingham. I worked for NHS primary care services delivering psychotherapies as a CBT and EMDR therapist from 2019 to 2021. Prior to this, I worked as a senior mental health nurse in the NHS. I have 16 years of experience working with mental health services in the NHS where I worked in in-patient care, urgent care and secondary mental health services. My special interests are in delivering psychotherapy to individuals suffering from common mental health issues including mild-severe depression and anxiety disorders, such as OCD, panic disorder, generalised anxiety, health anxiety, PTSD and specific phobias. I use CBT and other integrative techniques, such as counselling and tools and techniques from dialectical behavioural therapy and compassion-focused therapy to work through the most challenging mental health experiences of my clients. I have extensive experience working in urgent care services in my previous role as a senior mental health nurse and this experience has given me the skills and tools to ensure the safety of my clients at all times.
