About This Practitioner

As a former teacher, I saw firsthand the growing levels of anxiety among children in the classroom. Determined to make a difference, I retrained as a Cognitive Behaviour Therapist specializing in helping children and young people manage anxiety-related challenges, including phobias, panic attacks, and early childhood trauma.

In my practice, I combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Clinical Hypnotherapy with highly effective sensory-based techniques such as Havening and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). These approaches empower children to regulate their emotions, build resilience, and develop lifelong coping skills.

Beyond my private practice, I am passionate about bringing wellbeing into schools. I design and deliver practical, science-backed workshops for pupils, teachers, and parents, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to manage stress and anxiety effectively. My goal is to create calmer, more resilient school communities, where every child feels supported and ready to learn.
