Get unstuck and back to being you with evidence based, grounded therapy focused on what matters

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, excessive worry, panic, social anxiety, low mood, depression, stress, perfectionism, self-criticism, workplace difficulties and related emotional difficulties. If you have any questions about whether I can help with your particular problems, please get in touch and we can discuss whether CBT and my approach is likely to be a good fit.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based therapy that helps you understand how your thoughts, emotions, behaviours and physical sensations interact. Together we can help identify patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck, and develop strategies for making meaningful changes.

The first session focuses on us getting to know each other a little, and to give you an opportunity to tell your story and for us to discuss what you'd like from therapy. We'll discuss your concerns, any background information you think is important, and I'll try to explain how CBT works and whether it's the right approach is for you. There is no expectation that you'll know what to say and it's very normal to be nervous!

This depends on your goals and the difficulties you're experiencing. Some people find significant benefit from 6-12 sessions, while others choose to work together for longer. We will review progress on a regular basis and agree the approach together.

Yes. Most sessions I offer for now are delivered online via a secure video call, allowing you to access therapy from the comfort of your home.

At the moment I'm primarily offering online therapy, however if you have a strong preference for face to face therapy please get in touch and we can discuss whether this may be possible.

Individual therapy sessions are £75 for 50 minutes.

Definitely not. Many people seek therapy because they are struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood or life challenges without having a formal diagnosis.

CBT is particularly helpful for people who want a structured, collaborative and practical approach. It focuses on understanding current difficulties, where helpful unpicking and understanding how these came about, and developing strategies that can be applied to everyday life.

If I believe another service or therapeutic approach would be more appropriate for your needs, I will discuss this openly and, where possible, suggest alternative sources of support.

What we discuss in therapy is confidential, subject to professional, legal and ethical obligations. These limits will be discussed in detail during our initial work together.

I bring experience from over 10 years working in a variety of mental health services, including my current role as a BABCP accredited psychotherapist and my previous work as an Occupational Therapist and care co-ordinator. This combination helps me focus not only on reducing symptoms, but also on helping people return to the activities, relationships and goals that matter to them. The aim is not to make it so that you just don't feel so bad, it's to make it so that you're living a life that feels full and meaningful.

The aim of CBT is to make changes so that you are closer to the life you want to live. As such, it often involves practicing new skills or completing small exercises between sessions. These are agreed collaboratively, and are designed to help you apply what we discuss in therapy to your everday life.
