Experienced and compassionate CBT Therapist, dedicated to working alongside you on the topics that are important to you.
Book a session"You can't go back and change the past, but you can start where you are and change the ending"- CS Lewis You come to this journey as the expert on you. I will walk alongside you: reflecting, exploring, untangling, listening and gently challenging, to help give you more insight and a deeper understanding of yourself. I value the topics that you want to discuss, whatever these may be: no subject is off limits, shameful, or taboo. These are your sessions to use in the way that is most beneficial to you. My role as a therapist is to listen without judgement and to look at the concerns you have through your eyes. I will help you to make sense of what is troubling you, to reflect with you, to help bring awareness to alternative perspectives or ways of being, to bring distance to thoughts and emotions, or simply just to sit and listen and to hold hope and self compassion for you until you are ready to hold this for yourself. I work both Integratively and also solely with CBT. This means that we have a wide range of theories and tools that can be adapted to the sessions and tailored to you and this can change as we go through the therapy process. Whilst I work with all areas listed, I have extensive training in the following areas: Depression, Generalised Anxiety, Social Anxiety, Specific phobias, OCD, PTSD/trauma, Health Anxiety, Low Self Esteem, Perfectionism, Anger & Stress. I also have experience working with neurodivergent clients I have worked with adults in the Community, Private Practice, IAPT and NHS Crisis Support. I began my journey as a therapist in 2012 when I converted my Criminology degree to Psychology and subsequently gained an MSc in Psychology of Education. I then went on to study my Level 4 Diploma in Integrative Counselling and, a Post Graduate (level 7) Diploma in Psychological Therapies (CBT)
