My approach

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

I offer CBT and EMDR therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, PTSD symptoms, low mood, intrusive thoughts, health related distress, perinatal difficulties and life transitions.

My style is warm, active and collaborative. We will work together to understand what is keeping the problem going, how past experiences may still be affecting you, and what needs to change now. Therapy may include practical CBT strategies, trauma focused work, EMDR, compassion focused approaches, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness based CBT, or systemic thinking where helpful.

The aim is not only to reduce symptoms, but to help you feel clearer, safer, more confident and more able to move forward..

Areas of focus

I support adults with a wide range of difficulties, with particular experience in:

• anxiety, worry, panic and phobias

• intrusive thoughts, including perinatal OCD

• adjustment to long term health conditions and chronic pain
