About

I’m a BABCP-accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist with over a decade of experience working across NHS healthcare services in London—first as an occupational therapist, and more recently as a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist. I specialise in supporting people living with the emotional and psychological impact of persistent physical symptoms, such as fatigue, pain, brain fog, and conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), long COVID, chronic pain, and many more.

My career began in 2014 after qualifying as an occupational therapist at the University of Ulster. Working in both hospital and community settings, I developed a biopsychosocial approach to health—recognising how physical illness can affect every part of a person’s life, and equally, how psychological and social factors can shape the way symptoms are experienced and managed. This whole-person perspective sparked a lasting interest in the mind–body connection and led me to continue my professional education by training as a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist. I completed my training at Royal Holloway, University of London, and since qualifying in 2020, I’ve combined my background in physical and mental health to offer integrated, person-centred psychological support for people living with complex and ongoing symptoms.

I draw on a range of evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), compassion focused therapy (CFT), and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR – currently in training). My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and person-centred. I aim to create a warm, reflective, and supportive space where therapy moves at your pace—helping reduce emotional overwhelm, make sense of difficult experiences, and take manageable steps toward reconnection and recovery, even within the limits of persistent physical symptoms.

I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Experience and Special Interests

• Most recently, I worked as a Highly Specialist CBT Therapist in an NHS long COVID and ME/CFS service, offering one-to-one therapy to people navigating complex fatigue, pain, cognitive issues, and the emotional consequences of long-term symptoms—often in the context of trauma.
• In addition to my clinical role, I supervised other therapists and have contributed to workforce development by supporting the training of clinicians specialising in fatigue and persistent symptoms.
• I have delivered training to healthcare professionals on the biopsychosocial management of fatigue, trauma-informed care in physical health settings, and integrating compassion focused therapy techniques into fatigue interventions.
• My clinical interests include exploring the relationship between trauma, the nervous system, and fatigue; supporting people to reconnect with their identity and values after illness; and promoting collaborative approaches that validate both emotional and physical experiences.
• I am committed to ongoing professional development and have undertaken additional training in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), compassion focused therapy (CFT), and eye movement desensitisation and retraining (EMDR).

This process is rarely linear, so I aim to work flexibly and responsively—always at a pace that feels safe and manageable for the person in front of me
