I am a recognised BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist and a HCPC Registered Occupational Therapist. With extensive experience, I have successfully assisted clients dealing with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, phobias, OCD, trauma, PTSD, and Eating Disorders. I have also gained significant experience working with neurodiverse clients in both Occupational Therapy and CBT, spanning a wide age range from children to adults.

Choosing a therapist, as well as the type of therapy, can feel quite overwhelming. I believe the most effective therapeutic outcomes occur when there is a strong relationship between the client and therapist. Building trust and understanding of one another is essential to create a safe space where you can begin to share experiences and express emotions that may be difficult for you to talk about.

My approach is firmly rooted in integrative, humanistic psychotherapy, and occupational therapy. This foundation is based on the understanding that no single therapy model suits everyone. I approach each client as a unique individual, focusing on exploring the issues that matter to you in a non-judgmental and practical manner. Consequently, my practice is adaptable and tailored to meet your specific needs. My goal is to make you feel genuinely heard and understood, rather than simply providing advice or off-the-shelf solutions.

My aim is clear: to empower you in recognizing that your inner light can shine, even in the depths of darkness. Together, let's journey toward restoring your ability to fully embrace life, rediscover your true self, and evolve into the person you aspire to become.

A bit about me

When I was younger my mum used to reiterate one phrase to me 'I want you to have the opportunity in life to make choices' I never really understood this when I was younger. I didn't realise how pivotal this phrase would become for me in shaping my future, and grow into an ambition for helping others.

I've always been the kind of person who loves to dive into new experiences with unwavering enthusiasm. Whether it's tackling a challenging task or stepping into a completely different environment, I find joy in the thrill of learning.

There's something about music that has been a constant presence in my life. It's not just a casual interest; it's a passion that's deeply rooted in my heart. From a young age, I was that kid who couldn't help but air-drum in the back of a maths class or hum a tune during an exam. It was as if music was my lifeline, filling the gaps in my life and making me feel complete.

During my music career I had the opportunity to collaborate with young people in their mental health rehabilitation at Symphony hall in Birmingham. It was at this point where a quite unexpected, yet amazing opportunity presented itself. I found that I had an internal desire to want to help people.

My journey is about embracing every opportunity and making a positive impact through my work. So, as my story unfolds, I remain the enthusiastic learner who believes in taking on every new experience with the highest standard of commitment. And my passion for music, well, that's still the melody that accompanies me on this remarkable journey of life.
