Cadiz, Andalusia, Spain

British qualified CBT psychotherapist, member of the BABCP. I specialise in working with "expats" - clients that live outside their home country. I have a particular interest in this area because I have lived as an expat as a child and as an adult - in many countries from Europe, to the US, to Central Asia. Such clients present a wide variety of issues, but they all share the complication that they tend not to have the typical support system of friends, family, even medical support in their language, that they might have back home. This can add to the sense of isolation that many clients feel in combating their issues. I have experience treating clients for PTSD (and complex PTSD), anxiety/stress, depression (monopolar and bipolar), self harm, eating disorders, relationship therapy, gender dysphoria, addiction, suicidal behaviour, phobias, panic attacks, health anxiety, borderline personality disorders and substance misuse. Outside of my clinical work, I have a particular research interest in trauma suffered by journalists. It ties together my earlier career with my present career.
