​

I'm BABCP-accredited with postgraduate training in creative and explorative CBT methods, ACT, MBCT, EMDR and IPT therapies (I was a little obsessed with developing a range of tools in my earlier career). I worked as a senior psychological therapist in the NHS (Band 8a) before private practice. That's the same level as clinical psychologists, who typically charge £130+ in private practice. I worked alongside psychologists, trained some of them in CBT, and was supervised by others.

I've trained with some of the best clinicians in the field, and I now pay for two specialist supervisors (one specialising in ACT, the other specialising in Chairwork and Compassion Focused Therapy). My supervisors are both excellent human beings, and continue to inspire me to develop. 

In the NHS, I was often assigned to work with people who hadn't responded to previous therapy. For example, complex OCD, complex trauma, treatment-resistant presentations, and cases that don't fit diagnostic boxes. This was work which required flexible thinking, creativity and clinical judgement, giving me a wealth of experience with the human condition. 

​

The other thing I'll always guarantee is an honest and authentic human being, who has been through struggles themselves, likes to use humour where possible to lighten the process, and who has also experienced a range of useful and not so useful therapy themselves at various stages of life. 

Making the work more affordable

Sessions are one hour, but we can plan them flexibly. If weekly sessions don't fit your budget, we can space them out. Having longer gaps between the sessions can even be an advantage, and gives you more time to gather information/ apply what we are learning. 

I work as efficiently as possible. And honestly, I always have a bit of anxiety about whether I'm providing enough value, which usually keeps me working hard to help you get what you need from the process, as quickly as possible.

​

I don't raise fees for existing clients. If you start at £115, that's your rate regardless of what I charge new clients in future.
