My Experience

For over 16 years, I have worked in the NHS across the life-span, both in Mental Health and Medical settings. I have experience working with adults with complex and enduring mental health difficulties, learning disabilities, as well as long term health conditions.  I often work with people who are looking for support to live more effectively with difficulties associated with anxiety (panic, health anxiety, worry, social anxiety), depression, low self-esteem and sleep. It is important to me that therapy is a relationship where I work hand in hand with clients and their lived experience to facilitate and empower clients towards their goals and in line with their values.

My Values

I believe it is important that patients and clients are given the space and time to be heard and listened to in a non-judgmental way. I aim to provide a warm, calm, and safe space, enabling you to feel comfortable and relaxed in order to develop a deeper understanding of life’s struggles. I believe these are essential in developing a therapeutic relationship, where client and therapist can work together collaboratively. I believe the wider context and the role of power to be an important element in our understanding of the world. Every individual is different and sessions should reflect a person’s individual needs.

Clinic Information

I have a clinic in Ealing on a Monday during the day, and remote sessions on a Monday evening, and Friday day and evening. I  work with adults 18 and upward.

The models I work with

I  draw upon several evidence based therapies, predominantly Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), as well as, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). Where needed, I integrate Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills, and Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) informed approach,  to work on the goals that are most important to you in order to create change and enhance your wellbeing.
