I am a fully accredited High Intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with a wealth of experience in providing evidence-based therapy to diverse populations.

Throughout my career, I have developed strong clinical skills, particularly in managing complex mental health issues such as anxiety disorders, PTSD, and depression. My academic background includes a bachelor's and master's degree in psychology, both recognized in the UK. I have also contributed to research on the relationship between skin disorders and mental health, showcasing my commitment to understanding the interplay between physical and psychological well-being.
