​

When I was younger, anxiety stopped me from enjoying social situations, and later in life it affected my confidence as a parent and made workplace stress feel overwhelming at times. Those experiences gave me a genuine understanding of how exhausting anxiety can be, but they also showed me that things really can change with the right support.

I'm married, have two children, and live in Hertfordshire. Alongside my private practice, I volunteer with Home-Start Hertfordshire and work as an approved therapist for Anxiety UK, supporting people experiencing a wide range of anxiety difficulties. I am also now offering Forest Bathing sessions in the local area once I have qualified in August 2026. There's more about this on my blog and the link below.

​

I've spent over 20 years working in mental wellbeing across charities, local authorities and the NHS in supportive, advisory and person-centred roles. Throughout my career I've continued to develop my knowledge, completing a Master's degree in the Psychodynamics of Human Development, a Postgraduate Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and additional training in Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy.

​

Today I specialise in helping adults overcome anxiety using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I love CBT because it's practical, collaborative and evidence-based. Rather than simply talking about what's difficult, we'll work together to understand what's keeping you stuck and develop realistic strategies that help you move towards the life you want to live.

Whether you're struggling with constant worry, panic attacks, health anxiety, social anxiety, low confidence, workplace stress or simply feeling overwhelmed, my aim is to offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space where you feel heard and understood.

​

I offer sessions online, as well as in person in Wheathampstead, Hatfield and Hertford.

I'm an accredited member of the BABCP and an approved therapist for Anxiety UK. This means my qualifications, supervision, continuing professional development, insurance and professional membership are regularly reviewed, ensuring I continue to work to the highest professional and ethical standards.
