About me
Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed by the pressure of trying to be perfect? If you're constantly striving to meet your high standards but nothing ever feels good enough, or you never feel satisfied with your achievements because you always think you should do better... It's a sign your perfectionism has become unhealthy. It's no wonder you're feeling anxious and stressed, and struggling with overthinking, procrastination, self-criticism and self-doubt! The good news is that all of this can stop, by learning how to manage your perfectionism properly - and that's where my therapy designed specifically for perfectionists comes in!
I'm an award-winning Senior Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and I specialise in offering online CBT for perfectionism. I've helped hundreds of perfectionists (including ADHD perfectionists) overcome anxiety, stop worrying, beat procrastination, and build self-confidence. I can help you shift your perfectionism from unhealthy to healthy so that you can feel more confident, calm and content.
I know what it's like when your perfectionism makes you feel like you're not good enough, but it doesn't have to be that way forever! With compassion at the core, therapy with me is warm, effective, friendly and productive. Get in touch with me today if you're looking for a safe and welcoming space for transformative growth and self-compassion to flourish.
Training, qualifications & experience
I've been a CBT Therapist for over 12 years, mostly working in the NHS as a Senior Therapist leading mental health services in London. I'm a BABCP Accredited therapist and supervisor, a British Psychological Society (BPS) registered member, and a trained Mindfulness (MBCT) Teacher.
I recently left my reputable job in the NHS as Deputy Clinical Lead & Principal CBT Therapist for a large Talking Therapies service in Hertfordshire, to continue my specialism in perfectionism and work with perfectionists full-time in my private practice.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

I specialise in helping perfectionists (including ADHD perfectionists) transform their perfectionism from unhealthy to healthy. You don't need to 'overcome' your perfectionism because it's not all bad, but you do need to learn how to manage it properly! You're in the right place if you want to stop feeling overwhelmed and anxious, and start feeling more confident, calm and content.
