My Experience

With over a decade of experience in the NHS, I’ve supported children, young people, and adults facing a range of mental health challenges, including:

  • Addictions
  • Anxiety (including panic, phobias, social anxiety)
  • Chronic Pain
  • Depression and low mood
  • Difficulties managing emotions
  • Family Therapy
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Self-harm
  • Sleep problems
  • Trauma (including abuse, PTSD)

I’m committed to providing compassionate, effective care that leads to lasting positive change.

My Values

My work is guided by compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I strive to create a warm, empathetic environment where young people and families feel understood and supported. By working closely with each client and using proven therapeutic methods, I aim to help people build resilience and develop the skills they need. I value flexibility and adaptability, ensuring that our work evolves to meet each person’s unique needs.

The Models I Work With

I use several evidence-based therapies, including CBT, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). I also incorporate mindfulness into my practice. Together, we’ll develop a comprehensive understanding of the challenges you or your child are facing and plan together how to move forward.

Clinic Information

I offer in-person appointments on Sundays from 10am to 4pm. If you prefer, virtual sessions are also available on Wednesday evenings from 6pm to 8pm.

Who I Work With

I work with people of all ages, including children, young people, and parents. When working with children and young people, I take a systemic approach, considering the whole family’s role in our sessions. For children under 10, I focus on a parent-led approach, which involves working directly with parents or caregivers to provide guidance and strategies for supporting their child’s growth and development.
