Professional Profile:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the interconnections between our thoughts, behaviour, emotions, and physiology. CBT can improve how we feel by adapting the way we think and behave.

As a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, my role is to explore with individuals their current difficulties before supporting them to experiment with making changes to any unhelpful cognitive or behavioural patterns identified. Individuals set their own goals for therapy and we work towards these as a team - the client bringing expertise on their own unique experiences whilst I draw on the strong research base. I will always work without judgement and with great kindness.

I am trained to support a range of psychological challenges and will also integrate complementary approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Mindfulness, where helpful.

Training and Qualifications:

MSc in Psychological Therapies (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), University of the West of England (UWE)
BSc (Hons) in Psychology, University of Kent (UKC)
Over ten years working as a High Intensity CBT Therapist for several NHS services (in London and Bristol). Notable experiences include being part of the initial response to the Grenfell Fire and being a key worker during the pandemic.
Volunteer Samaritan (The Samaritans, UK)
Volunteer Victim Support Officer (Victim Support, New Zealand)

Relationship and Couple Therapy

Sometimes relationships may undergo periods of stress and it may feel as if they are a source of unhappiness or confusion. Relationship counselling helps couples and individuals explore problematic patterns that may be affecting their quality of life. The problem may be recurring or after an event or series of events.

We work with a wide range of couples from different cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations

Psychosexual Therapy

Psychosexual therapy is an integrative approach which combines talking therapy with behavioural therapy. It can take place on an individual basis or with a partner. It will involve an assessment of the sexual issue (including any associated medical factors) whilst exploring further how the relationship, sexual development and personal history may be affecting the sexual issue. Behavioural exercises may be discussed in the sessions, which will then be carried out at home to help the individual or couple address their sexual difficulties.

Individual Counselling

Individual counselling is a joint process between a therapist and client. Common goals of therapy may be to motivate change or improve quality of life. Therapy can help people overcome obstacles to emotional and mental well-being.

It can also increase positive feelings, such as compassion and self-esteem. People in therapy can learn healthy skills for managing difficult situations, making positive decisions, and reaching goals.
