About me

I am a passionate and caring CBT & EMDR Therapist with over 9 years experience in mental health. I work with clients to find the best approach for them. I am able to use different modalities to meet client's needs including Cognitive behaviour therapy, EMDR, compassion focused therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy. I treat anxiety and depressive disorders as well as all types of trauma. I have many years experience of working with PTSD, Complex-PTSD, PTSD in refugees & asylum seekers, Sexual violence, Complex trauma and childhood abuse. I am a neurodiversity affirming therapist. If you are experiencing difficulties with cultural issues or racial trauma I can help with this. I have many years experience working both in the NHS and the private sector. I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping people to get through life's challenges. I can provide a supportive space to talk openly and explore your thoughts and feelings in order to make meaningful change to your life. I know that sometimes life's challenges can make you feel like there is no way forward. I believe that through collaborative working we can create a way forward.
