I provide Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (CBT) for adults and young people with a wide range of mental health presentations and emotional well being issues. I have developed a special interest in Compassionate Mind Focused therapy, which is predominantly for shame based issues, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a trauma focused integrative psychotherapy. I am also a qualified counsellor and provide clinical supervision.
