My Approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an effective, evidence-based therapy that can be helpful for many people who are struggling with mental health difficulties.
CBT can help to identify the unhelpful cycles that we can sometimes get into with our thoughts, feelings and behaviours and begin to challenge and change these, in order to create a significant improvement in quality of life. The therapy will be unique to you and adapted to your needs and differences.
I aim to work with individuals to understand their unique needs and create a tailored therapy plan to help them reach their goals.
About Me
I’m a Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapist and mental health nurse with around 15 years' experience in mental healthcare, CBT and counselling. I have worked within the NHS, including significant experience in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Teams, inpatient wards, community teams, University counselling services, the voluntary and private sectors, including for insurance companies.
The people I deliver therapy to have described me as kind, compassionate, non-judgmental and empathetic. I enjoy working with people to create positive and meaningful changes that they are able to maintain after therapy.
Outside of work, I am an avid yoga practitioner, I love walking, reading and spending time with my family.
