About me

I am an accredited CBT therapist with over 14 years experience working in mental health services including 8 years in primary and secondary NHS care (both adults and children). I currently specialise in working with young people experiencing difficulties around low mood, anxiety, emotion regulation and trauma and have worked as a specialist in CAMHS for over 4.5 years. I have extensive experience delivering and supervising CBT and have had additional training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) - for both Adults and Children, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) skills and Motivational interviewing, all of which which can be useful across a range of mental health difficulties. I'm passionate about supporting others with their mental health and use an approach that is warm, personalised, neuro-inclusive, collaborative, non-judgmental and goal focussed. I'm fortunate enough to have worked with hundreds of people who have benefitted hugely from therapy and been able to live the life that they want to.
