Compassionate, experienced, and deeply committed to your personal growth and emotional healing.
I am a BABCP‑accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Qualified Mental Health Social Worker with extensive clinical experience across both NHS and private services. Over my career, I have dedicated myself to understanding the complexities of the human mind and helping individuals navigate life's most difficult challenges. I know firsthand that taking the very first step into therapy is often the hardest and most courageous part of the journey, which is why I am deeply committed to providing a safe, confidential, and completely non-judgmental space for you to heal and grow.
I specialise in delivering rigorous, evidence‑based CBT tailored for adults, children, and young people. My core areas of clinical expertise include:
Clients consistently describe my approach as exceptionally compassionate, practical, and deeply attuned to their day-to-day lived experiences. My therapeutic style beautifully blends structured, highly effective CBT techniques with creative, accessible strategies to ensure our sessions feel safe, engaging, and genuinely transformative. I currently practise as an independent CBT and adapted-CBT therapist, providing high‑quality psychological interventions designed to equip you with the practical tools you need to move forward with clarity, confidence, and lasting positive change.
Therapy is not something that is "done to you"—it is a collaborative partnership. Here is how I view the therapeutic process.
You will never be judged in my consulting room. Whether you are sharing your deepest fears or admitting to behaviors you feel ashamed of, my only response will be curiosity and profound empathy. We must understand the "why" before we can change the "what."
I will not sit in silence and just nod. While I listen deeply, I am also an active participant in our sessions. We will brainstorm together, gently challenge unhelpful thoughts, and collaboratively build a toolkit of strategies you can use in the real world.
While our relationship will feel warm and human, the techniques we use are rooted in rigorous science. I continuously update my training to ensure I am utilizing the most effective, research-backed modalities available in modern psychology.
I hold myself to the highest professional standards. I am fully insured, undergo regular clinical supervision, and am registered with the leading governing bodies for psychology in the UK.
Before establishing Willow Wellbeing Service, I spent several years working within specialized NHS adult mental health services, managing complex caseloads ranging from severe depression and anxiety disorders to PTSD.
I eventually transitioned into private practice to offer a more tailored, flexible, and premium service to clients, free from the constraints and long waiting lists often found in public health systems.
