      <image:title>Home - A bit about me.</image:title>
      <image:caption>My therapeutic style is friendly and informal, and I emphasise the importance of teamwork in cultivating change. We work together to set goals, develop a shared understanding of your difficulties, and develop practical strategies to support meaningful and lasting change. I work with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, stress, and the impact of distressing life experiences. Whether you are facing a specific issue or seeking a deeper understanding of long-standing patterns, I aim to provide a supportive and collaborative space in which to explore what matters most to you. I offer both short-term and longer-term therapy, depending on your goals and needs. Some people benefit from a focused, goal-oriented approach over a small number of sessions, while others prefer more extended therapeutic work. Sessions are available both in person and online, allowing flexibility to fit around your circumstances. Alongside CBT, I use Compassion Focussed interventions and principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I am also trained in delivering the Flash technique (an offshoot of EMDR) to help the processing of distressing memories. I am committed to personal and professional development and have recently completed doctoral training in Counselling Psychology. As a result, you may notice that my therapeutic style is also influenced by a person-centred ethos, placing great importance on empathy, authenticity, and the therapeutic relationship. My experience in mental health spans 15 years, initially working in secondary care psychiatric hospitals before moving into primary care settings, including the NHS, charitable sector, and universities. To ensure your safety and provide effective treatment, I follow evidence-based interventions and the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines. I am fully accredited with the BABCP and hold an enhanced DBS check.</image:caption>
