About me

I want to give you a grounded, down-to-earth experience of therapy with plenty of humour and humility, too! I am neurodivergent myself, so I believe that I can bring a level of understanding and compassion to a neurodiverse-affirming therapeutic style.

My priority is to to help you to really develop a robust understanding of yourself, how some difficulties may have arose, and how we can address them in the here-and-now.

I work with several common mental health conditions: including Generalised Anxiety Disorder, Low Self-esteem, Depression, OCD, PTSD, Panic disorder and Social anxiety disorder. I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, which means that my primary model of therapy is CBT.

I like to combine the theory, skills and application of CBT with a flexible, human approach. I will meet you at your pace, and we can work through it together. As a Psychotherapist, I am qualified & trained to work with a broad variety of common mental health difficulties as listed on my page.

My areas of special interest include working with low self-esteem & adapting therapy to the needs of a neurodivergent client.

I want to support you in developing a deep understanding of yourself, whilst working towards your goals and reducing challenging symptoms. I see my role as a therapist to bridge the gap between the theory of CBT and how it can help you, as an individual.

The most important factors is that we develop a strong therapeutic rapport, that we are adaptable and flexible, and that the therapy feels aligned to your goals.
