With over 26 years of experience in NHS mental health services, I bring a calm, steady, and compassionate approach to therapy. I balance my role as an NHS Clinical Lead with offering private therapy, specialising in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). My work focuses on helping adults overcome trauma, anxiety, and depression with evidence‑based, personalised care.

Extensive Experience in Mental Health Care

Throughout my career as an RMN and Clinical Lead, I’ve supported people facing a wide range of psychological challenges. My NHS role involves overseeing therapy pathways, supporting clinicians, and ensuring safe, effective care for those who need it most. In private practice, I bring the same level of professionalism and dedication, offering therapy that is structured, compassionate, and tailored to your individual needs.

My specialist training includes a Postgraduate Diploma in CBT for Psychological Trauma from the University of Oxford, which deepened my expertise in supporting clients through complex trauma, PTSD, and long‑standing emotional difficulties. This advanced training allows me to work safely and effectively with trauma presentations that require a high level of clinical skill.

Expertise in Trauma Recovery

I have a particular passion for trauma‑focused therapy. Using EMDR and trauma‑specific CBT, I help clients process painful experiences, reduce emotional intensity, and rebuild a sense of safety and confidence. My approach is steady and supportive — no rushing, no pressure — allowing you to work through difficult memories at a pace that feels manageable. I’ve guided many clients through the healing process, and I’m committed to helping you move forward with clarity and strength.

Effective Treatment for Anxiety and Depression

Alongside trauma work, I have extensive experience supporting clients with anxiety and depression. Through CBT, we explore unhelpful thought patterns, make meaningful behavioural changes, and develop practical coping strategies. My aim is to help you understand your emotions, build resilience, and create lasting change in your wellbeing.
