About
I provide insightful cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) that empowers, emboldens and encourages personal growth. We will embark upon a process of perceiving your life experiences, including your thoughts, emotions, ideas and beliefs, in order to re-frame those experiences, allowing you to take back authority over your own life. After all, therapy is not just a process of coming to terms with who you are, but also, the life you live.
Personally, I am emotionally present, light-hearted, direct and supportive. My experience has involved working with anxiety, depression, domestic abuse, eating disorders and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), to name but a few.
Outside of work, I am an ultramarathon runner and amateur kickboxer. I also enjoy gardening, reading, DIY and travel.
I am available to be contacted should you wish to explore further whether the therapy I offer is suitable for you.
