About me

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that each person's journey is unique, and my role is to work alongside you, providing the tools and support you need to navigate the challenges you're facing.

As a Senior Lecturer in CBT, my approach is informed by the most up-to-date practices and recommendations. I provide a compassionate, tailored approach to address your unique experiences.

Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, or other challenges, we’ll work together to uncover and address the patterns affecting your life.

I have extensive experience with social anxiety, OCD, and PTSD, using CBT techniques and EMDR to support trauma recovery. Your well-being is at the forefront of our work together.

I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely and feel truly heard.

Each session is designed to be meaningful and effective, with a focus on your specific goals and needs.
