Helping you build confidence in managing your difficult thoughts and feelings
You may be used to holding everything together — at work, in relationships and for the people who depend on you. Yet beneath the surface, you might feel anxious, uncertain or weighed down by the voice of your inner critic that never seems to rest.
My mission as a Specialist CBT therapist for anxiety in Morden
Working with me will…
- help you understand which factors maintain unhelpful thoughts & behaviours that keep you in a state of fear, anxiety, guilt & distress
- lead to acquiring practical, evidence-based tools to effectively manage difficult feelings and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself
- help you live more in the present moment, enjoying meaningful moments & building strong relationships
- reduce your sense of exhaustion as you won’t be drained by distressing emotions
- provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you will feel comfortable to explore difficult thoughts & emotions
Seeking therapy can be a big step and I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey towards personal growth

TESTIMONIALS
What Clients Say
“My experience has been so amazing! I was so anxious about coming for therapy as I felt that no one could get me out of this difficult situation. Therapy changed my life! It has been an eye-opening experience…it is amazing. I also cannot believe how quickly I started feeling better. You have been fantastic- I could not have asked for more. I was concerned about therapy but you made me feel so relaxed. Thank you!”
“I feel really grateful for your help. You have guided me in a very helpful way and I now feel that I am back to my normal self”
“You have resolved a lot of problems for me: I had suicidal thoughts when I started therapy, but not anymore. I now include my husband more in my care and I am more open with him. I also make more of an effort in life and I do not avoid situations. Those sessions made me think about my relationships with people and clarify thoughts I did not identify before”
“I enjoyed out talks and they have made me better. I sit and relax now which I could not do before. You listened to me. I would have had a mental health breakdown if I had not met you”
