When managing alone is no longer enough.
CBT & EMDR Therapy in Queen's Park, London
Specialist therapy for adults with OCD, Anxiety, Trauma, Perfectionism and Burnout. In person and online.
Most people who reach me are high-functioning: outwardly successful, inwardly struggling.
The clarity you've been looking for starts here.
I began my clinical career in 2015 and now work exclusively in private practice. Over the years, I've worked with people from every walk of life. Everyone's circumstances are different, but I've seen how easily low mood, anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, intolerance of uncertainty and the pressure to keep everything together can become part of everyday life.
Many of the people I work with now are high-achieving professionals who have spent years managing these difficulties on their own. They are often capable, conscientious and outwardly successful, yet find that the strategies that once helped them cope are no longer enough.
I do this work because I love working with people.
Therapy is often part detective work, part trusted confidant: piecing together why things keep happening, with someone who can tell me anything.
Then we work together to get things back on track. I tailor therapy to each person, so we aim for whatever matters most to them.
There's no work I find more satisfying, or more interesting.

Where I do my best work.
CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach, but structure alone does not create change. I bring 10+ years of clinical depth to each of these areas, and I am specific rather than general in how I treat them.
OCD and anxiety
- OCD
- Specialist ERP-based treatment for all OCD subtypes, including contamination, harm, and intrusive thought presentations. One of my primary areas of clinical expertise.
- OCD therapy
- Anxiety Disorders
- GAD, health anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder and phobias. Evidence-based protocols tailored to the specific anxiety presentation, not a generic approach.
- Anxiety therapy
Perfectionism and burnout
- Perfectionism
- Clinical perfectionism that has crossed from asset into obstacle. Particularly common in senior professionals and high-achievers navigating pressure from multiple directions.
- Read about perfectionism
- Burnout & High Performance
- High performers often miss the point where demands become unsustainable. You may still be getting things done, while feeling exhausted, irritable or unable to switch off.
- Read about burnout
Mood and focus
- Depression
- Behavioural activation, cognitive restructuring and relapse prevention for clinical depression, including depression comorbid with anxiety or burnout.
- ADHD Support
- CBT adapted for adults with ADHD: managing dysregulation, procrastination, and emotional reactivity using evidence-based, ADHD-specific techniques.
Trauma
- Trauma & PTSD
- Specialist trauma therapy using EMDR and trauma-focused CBT for single-incident trauma, complex trauma and PTSD, helping you move beyond experiences that have become stuck.
- Trauma & PTSD therapy
- EMDR
- Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, an evidence-based therapy recommended in NICE guidelines for PTSD. I am an accredited EMDR practitioner.
- EMDR therapy
A clear process. No ambiguity.
-
Initial Consultation
A 50-minute assessment session where I listen carefully, ask precise clinical questions, and form a clear picture of what you're experiencing and what treatment would look like.
-
Formulation
I develop a personalised CBT formulation: a clinical map of your difficulties, their origins, and the mechanisms maintaining them. This is the foundation of everything that follows.
-
Structured Treatment
Weekly 50-minute sessions, online or in person. CBT is active, structured, and collaborative. Most courses run 8-20 sessions depending on presentation and goals.
-
Relapse Prevention
The final phase consolidates your progress and builds the tools to maintain it. Good CBT ends with you needing less of it, and knowing how to use what you've learned for life.
- 8-20
- Typical session course
- 50 min
- Per session
- Online
- & in person, Queen's Park

- Private, self-pay practice
What people say after treatment.
“I feel like I now know how to live without being blown around by the winds of my OCD.”
“He helped me understand, for the first time, not just what I was doing - but why. That distinction changed everything.”
“When I first came to see you, I felt like my anxiety was running my life. I didn't really think that could change but looking back now, it really has. I feel more confident, more relaxed, and much more like myself again.”
“Before we started, it felt like my past was always just beneath the surface. I could function, but just barely. The memories haven't disappeared, but I'm remembering them differently now. They no longer dictate how I live my life. For the first time in a very long time, I feel like I'm looking forwards instead of backwards.”
