I am an Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists (BABCP), which is a NICE guided recommendation for the treatment of many mental health conditions including Depression, Anxiety conditions, PTSD, CPTSD and OCD amongst others. I am also a Registered Provider of Cognitive Processing Therapy, also a NICE guided recommended treatment for trauma and its consequences.

I have worked in several healthcare settings including addiction treatment, eating disorders, general psychiatry and prisons. For the last 15 years I worked for the Ministry of Defence with serving military personnel and more recently with military veterans.

I was trained at the Oxford Cognitive Therapy Centre which emphasises an individualised person-centred approach to treatment, taking time to develop a joint understanding of what your difficulties are, why they haven’t gone away and the skills and strengths you bring to treatment. Working together in this detailed way helps to develop a rapport that can produce the best outcome for your treatment.

Whatever treatment method I use is done through the lens of Compassion Focus Therapy, a perspective that can help develop the ability to self-care manage self-critical thinking, and regulate emotions, all of which can be present with many mental health conditions and difficulties. Whichever difficulties we work on together, the aim is to provide you with the skills, knowledge and confidence to manage your own psychological and emotional wellbeing.

I am regulated by the BABCP and maintain my professional competencies through ongoing professional development and supervision. I offer in person treatments in Salisbury on Friday mornings with the option of Online treatments if this is preferred.
