About me

I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. I treat a broad range of difficulties including depression, OCD, panic attacks, chronic worry (GAD), perfectionism, and low self-esteem. My aim is to offer therapy that is tailored to your individual needs. I work in a collaborative way, with us both working together towards your values and therapy goals. Alongside working in private practice, I have been working as a university lecturer for over five years. I currently supervise trainee cognitive behavioural psychotherapists, most of whom are currently employed by NHS services. I worked in NHS psychology services myself for close to ten years. My clinic days are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.
