My Background
I am a BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist, and I adhere to the BABCP standards of conduct, ethics and performance.
I attended Manchester Metropolitan University, where I was awarded a BSc in Psychology and MSc Psychological Well-being in Clinical Practice.
Following this, I achieved a Postgraduate Diploma in BABCP - Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapies at the University of Bolton.
I have experience delivering CBT in the private sector, charity sector and NHS Talking Therapies.
How can I Help?
I currently offer online 1:1 CBT sessions via Zoom. Your CBT session will be tailored to help you understand, manage, and overcome your difficulties. In our first few sessions, we’ll start by exploring the difficulties you’re experiencing. I’ll ask questions to get a full picture, and I will help you to identify tangible therapeutic goals to work towards. This will help us to create a treatment plan that’s based on CBT principles and tailored to you. This will provide a detailed understanding of yourself, incorporate your goals and work as a blueprint for your evidence-based therapeutic treatment.

Depending on your needs, I may draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, including:
Cognitive Therapy – Focuses on identifying and challenging unhelpful thinking patterns that contribute to emotional distress, helping you develop more balanced and realistic thoughts.
Behavioural Therapy – Targets specific behaviours that may be reinforcing problems, using strategies like behavioural activation, exposure, and skills training to support meaningful change.
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) – A highly effective treatment for OCD and related anxiety disorders. ERP involves gradually facing feared thoughts or situations while resisting the urge to engage in compulsions or avoidance.
Trauma-Informed CBT – An approach that integrates CBT principles with an understanding of the impact of trauma. It emphasizes safety, collaboration, and empowerment while supporting recovery.
Traditional CBT – A structured, skills-based approach that helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
These approaches are always adapted to suit your unique situation, goals, and preferences. During our initial assessment, we’ll explore which methods are likely to be the most helpful for you.
