About me

I grew up in London UK and worked in the NHS for several years  as both a practitioner and supervisor. I also worked in the corporate world supervising the mental health treatments provided to company employees nationwide.  I am practiced in a variety of different models of therapy but specialise in particular in a form of treatment called Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which is aimed at helping people understand how even their quickest automatic knee-jerk thoughts can stem from deeper-seated innermost beliefs and assumptions and shape their feelings and behaviours in ways that aren't always obvious but which can create obstacles to happiness and wellbeing.  Sometimes we find ourselves trying our very best to protect ourselves from upset only to find ourselves inadvertently trapped in vicious cycles that perpetuate it - whether this be in our personal relationships, private lives or working environment. These vicious cycles can impact on our physical and mental health and be hard to disentangle from.  We can keep repeating things that don't work for us too well as we try to find our own solutions.  My work is about helping my clients become curious about what may be happening for them and together find ways towards finding new strategies and fresh perspectives that quickly help them to become less consumed and compromised by fear, anxiety, sadness, stress, anger and worry.  I really want my clients to feel skilled up to take over from me in becoming their own best supporter and therapist once treatment comes to an end so that they don't feel reliant on it to keep the good stuff going.  I now deliver solely digital treatments. I send resources and (optional) between-session exercises so that therapy doesn't just include our session time but flows into a person's week.  By the end of treatment, each client will possess a library of useful links and articles.
