My Experience

I am a qualified Mental Health Nurse, CBT Therapist and EMDR Therapist and I have been working in mental health settings for 9 years. After qualifying as a nurse, I worked on a children’s inpatient ward. Following this I completed my CBT and EMDR training and I worked with young people and families in Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), before becoming a lecturer and supervisor on the CBT course at Reading University. I currently work as a CBT and EMDR therapist, with both adults and children.

I have experience working with a range of mental health difficulties, for both adults and children, including Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PTSD, Social Anxiety, Generalised Anxiety, Panic Disorder and Separation Anxiety.

My Values

I will aim to create a safe and trusting space for you to feel comfortable to share your difficulties. I will work hard to support you to understand what is going on for you, helping you make sense of your difficulties and thinking about how we can work together to create positive changes.

The Models I Work With

In my therapeutic work, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

I am also trained in DNAV (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Adolescents) and DBT skills, which I can bring into sessions dependant on individual needs.

Clinic Information

I offer both virtual (Monday-Thursdays) and face to face (Fridays) sessions. My face to face clinic is located in Wendover.  I work with both children and adults (8+). For children under 8 years old, I work with parents offering a ‘parent as therapist’ approach.
