ABOUT ME
Experienced & Accredited Psychotherapist & Supervisor
I offer Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) and CBT Supervision.
I support adults with Depression and Anxiety and have a special interest in PTSD & Trauma. I have over 14 years experience in the NHS and private practice. Alongside the therapeutic work I deliver I aIso supervise CBT therapists.I have over 9 years supervision experience in the NHS, private practice and as a CBT Clinical Supervisor for the University of Reading.
MY APPROACH
I believe that trauma is not a sign of weakness, it’s a natural response to overwhelming events. Your body adapted to survive. With the right support, it can also learn to heal. I am transparent, consistent and curious in my style and value collaboration. I integrate CBT, EMDR, and CFT to support mind–body healing.
Therapy with me is:
-
safe and paced
-
centred on your comfort
-
emotionally grounding
-
non-judgmental​
I work with the understanding that your nervous system is always trying to protect you. Together, we create a space where healing feels possible.
MY EXPERIENCE
I have over 14 years experience of working therapeutically and over 9 years experience of delivering supervision. Prior to starting my undergrad I took a gap year and worked as an Au Pair in France. Following completion of my Psychology degree in 2011, I volunteered with Mind and worked on secure, forensic mental health wards for three years. I trained as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) in 2014 with NHS Talking Therapies delivering low intensity CBT interventions. I worked as a PWP Lead before training as a CBT Therapist in 2019 with NHS Talking Therapies. I opened my private practice in 2022 I left the NHS in 2024 to focus solely on my private practice.
I am grateful for all of the opportunities I have had to work alongside the clients I have and to have been part of their journey.
