I'm a Clinical Psychologist and CBT Therapist specialising in Trauma and PTSD, Phobias, Anxiety Disorders, and self-esteem issues. I have 16 years of experience in mental health settings.
Book a sessionI've worked within NHS settings in talking therapies, health settings, and community mental health services. I have lots of experience of working with PTSD and Anxiety Disorders. I'm trained in lots of different types of therapy, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Systemic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. Sometimes I'll use one approach with someone, and other times using parts from different models is helpful. My goal is always to help people live a full, rich, meaningful life. As such, therapy with me includes figuring out what this sort of life looks like for you, what the barriers are, and then thinking about how I can support you to move towards that. Therapy can be incredibly useful for people who are struggling or just want to know more about themselves or their processes. Imagine two mountain climbers; I'm over here, climbing my own mountain, but from where I am, I can see you climbing yours, and because I've got a different perspective, I can see the path ahead of you, potential dangers, and a route ahead. The most important aspect of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. As such, this is an important part of my work with clients.
