Human connection

Expert care

Welcome

At Cheltenham Psychology Services, I provide professional guidance for individuals who are committed to improving their mental wellbeing. By using in-person evidence-based therapeutic methods combined with the convenience of e-health, I assure effective and accessible care for adults. As an independent practice, I aim to book you in shortly after you reach out for help.

About you

Regardless of what moved you to seek help, therapy aims to provide support, understanding, and strategies to help you navigate overwhelming emotional challenges. I specialise in providing psychological treatment for people aged 18 and above, addressing a range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, obsessive-compulsive issues, panic disorders, fears and phobias, challenges in coping with physical ailments or chronic pain, as well as mild personality disorders and low self-esteem. You know your own story best, so it’s important you are motivated to work together with me. By getting to know you, I can tailor my care to your unique situation.

Our services

My approach is integrative, incorporating techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, schema therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and EMDR. I also strive for a seamless integration between therapy sessions and the use of new technologies and e-health to make treatments as effective and efficient as possible.
