My qualifications and experience

I am a fully qualified and accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT Therapist) registered with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). I completed a 3-year degree in Psychology with Forensic Investigation at Canterbury Christ Church University and then went on to study for a Masters degree in Forensic Psychology at the University of Kent.

I completed a post-graduate certificate in psychological wellbeing and trained within the NHS as a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner, where I worked within a talking therapies service supporting adults experiencing depression and anxiety disorders using cognitive behavioural therapy-based techniques. I went on to train and work as a supervisor within this role, supporting trainee practitioners on their journey.

I then completed my Postgraduate Diploma in Psychological Therapies at the University of Sussex, qualifying me to work as a CBT therapist. I currently continue to work for the NHS within a Talking Therapies service, supporting adults with depression and anxiety disorders.

My approach

When you're making the decision to start therapy it's really important you consider the therapist you will be working with. This is how I would describe my approach:

Compassionate

Collaborative

eVIDENCE-BASED

I offer a compassionate and empathetic approach to create an open space to encourage you feel safe to share your personal experiences.

I will bring the evidence-based strategies in order to scaffold your knowledge and encourage you to put this learning into practice.

I will encourage you to take a proactive part. We will be working together as a team, you will bring the expertise of your life to our sessions.
