About me

Hardworking, caring and compassionate therapist, with experience on both sides of the therapy room. CBT for me was life changing. This gave me the motivation to train as a CBT therapist and the experience of being on both sides of the therapy room has been invaluable. I have over ten years of experience providing CBT support to a wide range of anxiety disorders, trauma, depression and low self-esteem. I understand how difficult making that first step can be. I provide a safe space to discuss your difficulties, and together we create a treatment plan to support you. I am a hardworking, self motivated individual that loves to learn. I offer a safe, open and honest environment. Between sessions, I focus on the work we are doing and devise individual treatment plans to help achieve your goals. Access to my website is included for you which includes CBT resources to help aid learning, recovery and prevention of a relapse. I have worked as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner and then qualified as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and have worked as a senior in both roles. I understand choosing the right support is important, so please do feel free to reach out with any questions you might have.
