Psychological therapy offers a confidential, safe & supportive relationship, with a qualified professional. Therapy can help to alleviate distress, improve your psychological well-being & enable you to find a positive way forward.
​
Invest in you
Life can be tricky. We may face loss, bullying or trauma. At times, self-criticism, conflicting feelings or past hurts can overwhelm us. We may struggle with distressing thoughts & feelings or want to change unhelpful patterns of behaviour. Sometimes our relationships leave us feeling dissatisfied or we may feel on edge, stuck or fed up without knowing why. Having a safe space to explore what is going on can help you make sense of your experiences, process difficult feelings & develop skills to enable you to reach your full potential.

My approach
My approach is tailored to you. I will work collaboratively with you drawing from over 15 years experience of providing psychological therapy (NHS & Independent Practice) & extensive training in a variety of psychological theories including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). ​I am also trained in Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) & I have attended further training in a variety of approaches including Person Centered Counselling, Compassion Focused Therapy, Trauma Informed Therapy & Mindfulness. I also contribute to research & teaching, publishing widely, so you can be assured my approach is grounded in the most recent evidence.
