BACKGROUND
I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Co-Founder of BFRB UK and Ireland. I provide therapy to a diverse population of people in person or online. My experience is in body focused repetitive behaviours (BFRBs) such as compulsive skin picking, hair pulling and nail biting. I work with people who are experiencing anxiety, depression and other related issues such as grief, loss and panic as well as trauma and self esteem issues. I also work with people who are going through challenging work related situations and relationship issues.
I aim to create a safe space in a non-judgmental, protected environment to allow people to express themselves. I am passionate and dedicated to ongoing advocacy and education within the community for BFRBs, anxiety, depression and general mental health issues.
After working for over a decade in the Royal Courts of Justice and The Supreme Court, I completed a MSc in Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire follwed by an MSc in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy at Birkbeck, University of London. I have completed the IOCDF’s Professional Training on the comprehensive behavioural model designed to treat those with BFRBs (previously with TLC for BFRB's).
I work to raise awareness and provide help and resources to those affected by BFRBs and other mental health issues.
