CBT Therapy & Mindfulness St Albans - Specialising in Anxiety
Private Therapy in Person or Online
I genuinely love what I do!
I’m passionate about Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness and the difference they can make in people’s lives. I believe that everyone deserves access to simple, practical tools that help us understand ourselves better — especially the powerful connections between our thoughts, feelings and actions.
CBT is not about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you make sense of what’s going on, noticing unhelpful patterns and learning new ways to respond to life’s challenges with greater confidence and clarity. Together, we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck and develop strategies you can use both inside and outside of our sessions, so change feels achievable and lasting.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, low, or simply want to understand yourself better, you don’t have to do it alone. Taking the first step can feel daunting, but it can also be the start of meaningful change. I’d love to support you on that journey — book a session today and let’s work together to help you move forward.
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.

Free Gratitude Workbook
A simple CBT-based tool to help you feel more grounded, balanced and resilient.
Gratitude isn’t about forcing positivity or ignoring hard things. From a CBT perspective, it’s about gently training your mind to notice what’s also true—especially when stress, worry, or low mood take up most of the mental space.
This free Gratitude Workbook is designed to help you build that skill in a practical, realistic way.
What you’ll get inside:
-
Easy, guided gratitude exercises (no journaling experience needed)
-
CBT-informed prompts that help shift unhelpful thinking patterns
-
Short reflections you can complete in just a few minutes a day
-
Space to notice small wins, moments of relief, and personal strengths
-
A kinder, more balanced way of relating to your thoughts and experiences
Who it’s for:
-
People who feel stuck in negative thought loops
-
Anyone feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or emotionally drained
-
Those curious about CBT tools they can use in everyday life
-
Anyone who wants a gentle, realistic approach to gratitude.
You don’t need to feel grateful all the time for this to work. The goal isn’t to change how you should feel—it’s to help you notice more choice and flexibility in how you respond to your thoughts.
👉 Download the free Gratitude Workbook and start building a small, sustainable habit that supports your mental wellbeing.
