Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) & Mindfulness for Anxiety in St Albans
Private therapy — available in person or online
I genuinely love what I do, and that passion is at the heart of my work as an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and Mindfulness Practitioner.
Every day, I see how CBT and mindfulness can create real, meaningful change — helping people feel more in control, more confident and more connected to themselves.
I’m deeply committed to these approaches because they work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps you understand the powerful link between your thoughts, emotions and behaviours, giving you clarity about why you feel the way you do and how change is possible. Mindfulness complements this by helping you slow down, become more present and gently step out of cycles of worry about the future or rumination about the past.
These approaches are not about “fixing” you — because you are not broken.
Instead, it’s about making sense of what’s happening in your life, identifying unhelpful patterns and learning healthier, more compassionate ways to respond to challenges.
Together, we focus on building self-awareness, emotional resilience and practical skills you can use long after therapy ends.
In our sessions, we’ll work collaboratively to explore what may be keeping you feeling stuck and develop practical coping strategies you can apply both in therapy and in everyday life. The aim is lasting change that feels manageable, empowering and aligned with who you are.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
If you’re experiencing anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, struggling with low mood, or simply want a deeper understanding of yourself, CBT offers a structured, supportive way forward. Taking the first step can feel daunting — but it can also be the start of real, positive change.
I’d love to support you on that journey.
Book an initial assessment session today and let’s work together to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence and self-compassion that you would give to other people.
Welcome to my Private Practice offering CBT and Mindfulness:
Your Path to Improved Wellbeing
Why sessions with me?
I don’t believe therapy should be a one-size-fits-all process.
You’re unique, and what helps you move forward will be too.
While I draw on CBT and Mindfulness, our sessions won’t follow a strict formula — we’ll shape the work around what feels right and useful for you.
Some days that might mean exploring patterns of thought and behaviour; other days it might be about simply slowing down and making sense of what’s happening for you or introducing a Mindfulness Practice.
Alongside my CBT qualification, I am also a trained Mental Health Employment Specialist, with experience working within the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) programme. This means I understand first-hand how closely mental health and work can be connected, and how difficulties in one area can impact the other.
