I am a Counselling Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) trained to offer specialised psychological therapy for both moderate and severe psychological distress.

I use an open and friendly approach to help you to feel at ease while offering you a safe, compassionate and confidential space. I will work together with you to create a therapy which is unique to your individual needs – this is achieved using a range of therapeutic approaches and techniques. My main approach is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), but I also incorporate a wide range of psychological therapies, including person-centred therapy, compassion-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), schema therapy and play therapy.

I will work with you to make sense of your distress and experiences – helping you to find the best way to move forward to increase your quality of life and your sense of wellbeing. I encourage regular reviews and feedback from you to ensure you feel happy and safe at each stage in therapy.

I offer both short-term and long-term therapy interventions for adults, children and young people – I can also work with couples and families. I have a particular interest in working with anxiety-related issues, and have undergone specialised training to work with trauma-related distress (for example, physical and sexual abuse) and post-traumatic stress (PTSD). Further to this, I have extensive experience of working with a diverse range of emotional and psychological issues spanning low self-esteem, depression, relational and attachment issues, anger management, life transitions, self-harm, suicidal ideation, psychosis and working through unresolved issues from childhood.
