I came to realise through my time as a Samaritan  that often when we are having a conversation with someone we are thinking about what to say next or trying to mindread and guess what the other person is thinking about. By listening to this inner narrative, it is taking you away from actually hearing what the other person is saying and being able to fully understand and engage with a person. 

It was with this new understanding, I wanted to be able to provide a place for people to experience this and empower them to take steps to reclaim their life from any suffering they may be experiencing. 

With 12 years of experience working in the mental health sector and 6 years working as an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, I have dedicated my practice to creating a warm and welcoming environment where clients feel truly seen and heard. My approach is centered around each individual's unique story, ensuring that every session is tailored to fit your personal needs and goals. 

Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, or simply seeking personal growth, I think I can help. 

By employing various evidence-based techniques, I will collaborate with you to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that may be affecting your well-being. Together, we can work towards meaningful change, building a path to recovery that acknowledges your strengths and individuality.

Below is an overview of some of the presentations I can treat:

• Depression 
• Anxiety 
• Stress 
• Panic
• Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Health anxiety
• Social anxiety
• Phobias
• Generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Insomnia 

Although I am primarily trained in CBT, I like to use principles from other third-wave therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy.
