I am a CBT and Compassion Focused Therapist with 23 years of experience working in different settings and with diverse populations. I am also a trained Mindfulness teacher.
Everyone struggles at times with difficult emotions, sometimes they can lead to severe depression, anxiety and other psychological problems.
In order to overcome these obstacles and realise your potential you may need external help to gain the understanding and practical tools that will enable you to move forward and live a fulfilling life. While there are lots of situations in life that we cannot control, we can definitely learn how to become more resilient and to equip ourselves with skills to manage emotional challenges in a constructive way.
During my 23 years of practice I have developed expertise in using a wide range of CBT techniques and models that I can draw on. This enables me to work with you in a way which specifically addresses your unique difficulties, needs and goals for therapy.
I specialise in working with Anxiety disorders including OCD, BDD and health anxiety as well as problems with self esteem and self criticism. For a full list of the conditions I can help you with please click here.

I draw on my many years of experience and extensive training to create an individualised approach for my clients, focussing on creating a warm space where they can feel safe to explore and overcome their difficulties.
I am passionate about empowering people to become the best version of themselves by developing a compassionate and supportive relationship with themselves.
CBT is an evidence-based therapy which has proven to be highly effective in overcoming a wide range of problems. The main principle of CBT is that our thoughts affect how we feel and then how we behave.
This in turn will help gain a more balanced emotion and deal with the situation in a more constructive way.
CFT was originally developed to work with people that had self esteem problems, are very self critical and experience high levels of shame. It also addresses the difficulties that people with a traumatic upbringing can experience when they feel held back by their past
ACT is based on the idea that, generally, trying to get rid of pain and difficult emotions or thoughts actually feeds into them and makes them worse. If instead we are able to accept them we can focus on our values and goals. Acceptance doesn’t mean resignation but an acknowledgement of and a willingness to experience difficult emotions so that we can focus our energy on dealing with situations in a constructive way in line with our values for life.
MBCT is a model of Therapy that combines CBT and Mindfulness. Mindfulness is the quality of being aware of our experience: thoughts, feelings and body sensations while allowing them to be there and accepting them rather than resisting them or trying to change them.
