As a therapist specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, I believe in the transformative power of exploring the intricate connections between our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. But my approach extends beyond traditional CBT – incorporating Compassion-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, I’m dedicated to helping you uncover the deeper roots of your beliefs and behaviours by understanding the impact of your past experiences.

With a trauma-informed lens, I prioritise empathy and understanding, asking not "what's wrong with you," but rather, "what happened to you." So much of perfectionism makes sense when we figure out what’s behind it! It is with this increased self-awareness that you’re able to develop self-compassion and become more mindful of unhealthy patterns.

I aim to offer the perfect blend between making sense of things and making positive goal-orientated changes. So once we’ve understood things we focus on practical skills-building and problem-solving, empowering you to develop healthier coping strategies and more adaptive ways of thinking. You’ll learn the tools you need to navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience and confidence.

With compassion at the core, therapy with me is characterised by friendly warmth, effectiveness, and productivity, providing a safe and welcoming space for transformative growth and self-compassion to flourish.

My THERAPY approach

I've been practicing CBT for over 12 years and have spent most of my time working in the NHS as a Senior CBT Therapist leading mental health services in London. I've also worked in private hospitals such as The Priory, and have worked with a range wide of client groups including children, teenagers and adults.

I recently left my reputable job in the NHS as Deputy Clinical Lead & Principal CBT Therapist for a large Talking Therapies service in Hertfordshire, to continue my specialism in perfectionism and go full-time in my private practice.

I've also achieved Supervisor Accreditation status with the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), and I am a registered member of the British Psychological Society (BPS).

I'm a BABCP Accredited Senior Cognitive Behavioural Therapist & COACH, and a Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Teacher.
