Professional Profile

Thank you for visiting my profile.

I am a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, EMDR therapist and Registered Mental Health Nurse with over ten years of experience across NHS, private and military mental health services.

I work with adults, children and young people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, OCD, low self-esteem, stress, burnout, emotional regulation difficulties and adjustment to major life changes. I use CBT in a practical and collaborative way, helping clients understand the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviour, challenge unhelpful patterns and develop strategies that can be used beyond therapy. I also use EMDR to support people who have experienced trauma and distressing life events.

Stress management is an important part of my work, particularly for people experiencing work-related pressure, burnout, anxiety and significant life changes. I draw on CBT, relaxation, emotional regulation and practical coping strategies to help clients manage stress more effectively.

Alongside therapy, I currently work within children’s neurodevelopmental services and am ADOS-2 trained. I conduct ADOS assessments and clinical observations in schools and community settings, including areas of socioeconomic deprivation, contributing to autism assessment pathways and helping identify the support children and families may need.

I am also the author and creator of Thrive Mind, a child-focused mental health and wellbeing app designed to support children and young people experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, low mood and emotional regulation problems.

My approach is warm, calm and practical, and I adapt therapy to the individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

I offer appointments by secure video or telephone and can be flexible around client needs, including some evening and weekend availability alongside my NHS commitments.

If you would like to book an appointment, please use the Book Appointment button. I can also arrange a brief telephone conversation beforehand to discuss what support you are looking for and whether CBT, EMDR or an integrated approach may be most suitable.
