I draw on a range of evidence-based psychological interventions tailored to your individual needs and preferences. My main training is in Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered therapy. I also integrate interventions from additional therapeutic approaches to best support your unique experience.

I work with adults aged 18+ experiencing a range of difficulties including (and not exclusive to) anxiety, stress, low mood, low self-esteem, chronic illness, disordered eating and relationship and family difficulties. Please feel free to contact me for further information. 

Your confidentiality will be maintained in accordance with the legal and professional frameworks set out by the British Psychological Society, the Health and Care Professions Council and the Data Protection Act 1998. 

Each course of therapy is tailored to the unique experience of the client. In initial sessions (typically the first three sessions), I tend to work together with clients to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the difficulties that have brought them to therapy and reach an agreement about which way of working is most likely to meet their needs. This tends to form the focus of our future sessions and will be reviewed and modified as necessary. 

Research has shown an association between regular sessions (weekly or fortnightly) and positive outcomes, particularly in the early stages of therapy. Ad hoc sessions are typically advised as a means of reviewing your progress and wellbeing following an intitial course of therapy. 

Each session is around 50 minutes.
