My approach

I am a BABCP accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with over sixteen years in mental health and thirteen years post qualification in CBT. I work across private practice and the NHS in Leeds.

My style is engaging, warm and collaborative. We work together to understand what keeps the problem going and to build practical tools that fit your life. I tend to work best with people who are curious, motivated and ready to make meaningful change.

Areas of focus

I support adults with a wide range of difficulties and have particular expertise in:

• parents and perinatal mental health, including postnatal depression, anxiety about birth and birth trauma

• adjustment to long term health conditions and chronic pain

I also have a special interest in acculturation and offer culturally sensitive therapy. Conditions I frequently work with include generalised anxiety, social anxiety, PTSD, perfectionism, OCD and intrusive thoughts, phobias, panic, depression, disordered eating, body image concerns, work stress and low self esteem.

How we work

CBT is our foundation. I also draw on compassion focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment informed thinking and systemic ideas where helpful. We will make sense of past patterns, but the focus is on what you need now to create the life you want.
