About me
Hello, I’m a BACP-registered, trauma-informed psychotherapist, mental health nurse, educator and coach with over 25 years’ experience working in mental health. I’ve helped many people work through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges — from social anxiety and depression to childhood trauma, self-esteem issues and relationship difficulties.
I offer a compassionate and supportive space where we can explore what’s going on for you at your own pace. Together, we’ll work to understand the root cause of your difficulties, not just the symptoms, and help you move forward with more clarity, confidence and purpose.
Previous clients have fed back on how they have benefited from my warm, insightful and professional approach, and that our work together helps them make real progress. It is always a privilege to be alongside my clients on their journey.
These are some of the issues I commonly support people with:
• Anxiety, panic, and overthinking
• Depression, low mood and low self-esteem
• Emotional regulation issues
• Relationship and attachment difficulties
• Childhood trauma and complex PTSD
• Loss of identity, confidence or purpose
• Impact of chronic illness
• Eating disorders (binge eating, bulimia)
• Work-related stress, burnout, or bullying
My Approach
My style is warm, active, and collaborative. I combine evidence-based therapies like:
• CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
• ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)
• Compassion-Focused Therapy
• Mindfulness-Based CBT (trauma informed)
• DBT skills for emotional regulation
