I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist who works in a very person centred way tailoring therapy to the individual. I believe in the evidence base of CBT but that it can be delivered in a way that recognises the struggles that people dealing with conditions such as anxiety face every day. I use aspects of compassion focused therapy and mindfulness within my practice which I believe gives a gentler approach to therapy while still retaining the effectiveness of a therapy that is shown to work with a vast evidence base to back it. I have worked in NHS services as well as academic settings and in private practice my main area of expertise is anxiety conditions which includes general anxiety or excessive worry, social anxiety and phobias including agoraphobia.I also work with stress related issues including work and academic stress.
