About me and my therapy practice
As an experienced CBT psychotherapist, I specialise in treating anxiety, depression, addiction, and eating disorders. My professional journey began as a BACP counsellor, however I recognised the need to enhance my skills to better support my clients and decided to study further obtaining an MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
My career has encompassed both public and private sectors. I have worked within the NHS at Oxford Health, specifically in the Community Eating Disorder Service. I now work mainly privately. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with clients across a wide age spectrum, ranging from 11 to 70 years old.
CBT enables me to provide effective, evidence-based treatment for various mental health concerns, by focusing on the interplay between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Whether working with adolescents navigating the complexities of growing up, adults facing life transitions, or older individuals dealing with age-related issues.
My approach combines the warmth of person-centered therapy with the practical tools of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Here's how I work:
Empathy: I strive to understand your unique experiences and emotions.
Unconditional Positive Regard: I offer a judgment-free space where you can feel valued and safe.
Congruence: I'm genuine and transparent in our therapeutic relationship.
CBT Techniques: I use evidence-based strategies to help you reshape thought patterns and behaviors.
Together, we'll explore new perspectives and develop effective coping strategies, empowering you to transform your thoughts, feelings, and overall well-being. My goal is to support you in finding healthier, more fulfilling ways of living and relating to yourself and others.
