CPS Director & Senior Psychotherapist
I offer both face to face and online therapy via video link. We can work through your problems in a safe and confidential space. Whatever your issues are, I can help you find solutions and work towards feeling happier and back on track. I have worked in wellbeing and mental health for the whole of my career (35 yrs plus) in a range of different settings right through to the hospital environment and I’m also a clinical supervisor. I hope this gives you an idea of the depth of my experience. There is no such thing as a problem that is too small for therapy. If you need help, that’s enough.
I am an integrative counsellor. This means I can use a variety of different techniques to help you feel better. So the therapy can fit around you and your preferences. I am also a clinical hypnotherapist, a life coach and a meditation trainer so you also have the opportunity to access these services should you feel they would be useful to you.
Some new clients worry whether problem is “bad enough” to come to counselling. Some worry that they are so ill that counselling won’t help. Neither is true. If your problem is causing you difficulties, counselling is a good choice and it’s my role to help you through

BSc (Hons) PgDip BACP ACT
CPS Director & Senior Psychotherapist
I have worked in Psychotherapy focussing on a person-centred and CBT approach for 6 years now, within both face-to-face and online settings. My goal as a therapist is to help clients understand themselves on deeper level and work with them strategically using techniques that focus on changing thought and behavioural patterns. I work with various issues such as addiction, abuse, PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationships, family issues, specific disorders and much
more. I also have a great deal of experience in Employment assistance therapy, which enables clients to focus on issues such as burnout, imposter syndrome and
work-related stress and anxiety.
My aim has always been to provide a safe and calming space where clients feel comfortable to both explore and challenge issues at their own pace. I look forward to helping more and more clients on their therapeutic journey.
