​I specialise in helping people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Anxiety and low self-esteem.  I think of OCD as an unhelpful way of managing anxiety.  Self-esteem is so linked to everything we are as a person, how we see ourselves, how we think others see us and how we place ourselves in the world.  Our sense of value and worth.  Low self-esteem is often something we learn as youngsters.   The good news about that is we can learn another, more positive way.  

​

​I have been working in Mental Health for 2 decades! I started as a mental health Nurse in the NHS working with children and their families in CAMHS (Children and Young Peoples Services).  Services for young people is a very therapy-based environment and certainly the part I loved the most about it.  It felt a natural progression for me to specialise in therapy, which I have done, for about the last 15 years.   I have worked in the NHS, private practice and corporate Insurance as a therapist in both Young People and Adult services.

​

My path to therapy wasn't a straight line. Before my mental health training, I worked as a project manager in large global companies.  That experience shapes how I work to this day. I understand the pressure of performance, the weight of responsibility, and what it feels like when the world expects you to hold everything together.  I have also been a single parent and run my own business.  That real-world grounding, combined with 20 years working in mental health, means I bring a genuinely rounded perspective to every session.

​

I believe that I am privileged to be a therapist and share the remarkable journeys that I take with all my clients.
Coming into therapy takes bravery and strength.​
