Covid 19 update: I am now offering both face-to-face and online sessions 

Hello, my name is Mimi and I specialise in helping people with stress, anxiety and worry.  I use a mixture of CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy), hypnotherapy and mindfulness to help you change the way you think, feel and behave.

I specialise in stress and anxiety (including phobias and insomnia), and also love helping people to break habits (such as nail biting) and develop healthier lifestyles. 

I believe that therapy should be grounded in scientific evidence (in other words, based on what has been proved, in scientific research, to work) and collaborative (working with you, rather than doing therapy "to" you - after all, you are the expert on you!).   I'm also passionate about helping you develop the skills to help yourself - teaching you to become your own therapist, not reliant on me or tied into a long-term therapy programme.

I focus on breaking the vicious cycle of stress, anxiety or worry:

I work with you to help you understand what is maintaining your stress, anxiety or worry, and develop a plan with you to help you break that cycle.  That means therapy is practical and focussed - we work on here and now, stopping the vicious cycle of stress or anxiety in its tracks, rather than working through issues from the past.  We work together to understand what's stopping your stress or anxiety from going away, so that we can come up with a plan to get the best results in the fastest time.  

The most important element in any therapy is that you feel comfortable working with your therapist:

That's why I offer a free 15-minute telephone or Zoom consultation, and I always recommend that we have a chat over the phone before you make any decision.  That way, you can get a feel for whether you'd be comfortable working with me, and I can check that my approach will be suitable to help you achieve your goals.  

I am accredited by the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) and General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR).

My story

I worked for over 15 years in blue-chip corporate business, so I understand first hand the pressures of a fast-paced, pressure-filled environment, and the difficulties of juggling this with family life.  I am passionate about prioritising mental and physical wellbeing and have always had a curiosity about what makes people think and behave the way they do.  I feel privileged to put these passions to use in my therapy work, working with people to help them make positive changes in their lives.
