I am a compassionate, motivated therapist and will work collaboratively at your pace to help build your self-resilience and skills to reduce any life-limiting effects of your difficulties and support your recovery goals and future aspirations.

My experience of working within the NHS and private practice has allowed me to contribute to national research as a consultant psychological therapist with leading international experts in the field of trauma and CBT. This has helped develop specialist expertise to help distressed children, young people, and adults with a wide range of psychological and emotional dififuclftes.
