  • I work with a variety of presentations including anxiety, stress, depression, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, perfectionism, grief/loss, anger, emotion regulation, self-esteem issues, and relationship issues. I also have experience and a particular interest in treating eating disorders.

My therapy style

  • My approach to therapy and client care is focused on tailoring treatment to the needs of the individual. I value the importance of treating the individual as a whole, rather than treating a psychological issue in isolation. I prioritise creating a safe space in therapy and building self-awareness and self-efficacy with my clients in a collaborative way. I use a range of evidence-based treatments, based on their appropriateness to the situation, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I also use Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT-E) in treating eating disorders.
