Pronouns - She/Her

I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist.  I have over 15 years experience working with adults in NHS and private settings, and experience supervising other therapists. I have additional training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, and working with long term health conditions and Persistent Physical Symptoms. 

My approach aims to empower you to overcome life's challenges, build resilience, and lead a more fulfilling life. Through a compassionate and collaborative process, I use evidence based therapy to help you gain insight into your problems so we can work through them together. I understand that seeking therapy can be a significant step, so I strive to create a warm, supportive and non-judgmental environment for you. I am so glad you have taken this first step, let's continue the journey together. 

Over my 15 year career as a therapist I have worked with adults and older adults in NHS primary care therapy services across South London and Kent. During this time I set up initiatives working with young adults and developed a CBT for Diabetes service. I now work in the Fife and Edinburgh areas of Scotland, where I have worked extensively with people with complex trauma and long term health conditions, as well as people with anxiety disorders and depression.

Feedback from Chloe’s clients

Life-Changing Support: Chloe’s Expertise in Overcoming Anxiety and Transforming Daily Thinking

“For decades I've had troubling memories, considerable anxiety and debilitating self-doubt.  Chloe expertly helped me address these.  During the EMDR processing which she guided me through, I could feel my problems lose their potency and become memories rather than present fears.  I am happier and freer as a result.  I'm so grateful to Chloe for her expertise, and recommend her highly.” Mark

Chloe was amazing and is an excellent therapist and I have recommended her to friends.” Joe

"Chloe Provided Me with Tools to Support My Well-Being"

"I’ve found my sessions with Chloe extremely beneficial and so glad I was referred to her. Lots of tools to take with me, and to continue using as and when I need them." – Joanne

"Chloe's Reassurance Made Therapy an Empowering Experience"

*"It was a pleasure working with Chloe as she made me feel so relaxed and comfortable within the environment. I was nervous initially, but after the first session and the reassurance from Chloe, I felt at ease going into my sessions. Chloe is very professional and if I ever needed therapy again, I would love to have it through Chloe.

I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for Chloe and the amazing skill set Chloe has."* – Karen

"CBT with Chloe Transformed My Confidence and Self-Worth"

*"I have just completed a course of CBT to help with a medical condition I suffer from. I have to say I was a little sceptical at first, but my fears were quickly allayed.

I found Chloe to be most empathetic, and she gave me many tips and ways to help me. She was excellent at listening to me, boosted my confidence immensely, and gave me many tools for the future to help me.

Not only did these sessions help me deal with my condition, they made me value myself as a person as well.

I would highly recommend her services."* – Jan

What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidenced based & well researched talking therapy. It is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) for many mental health problems.

It is most commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, but can be useful for many other mental and physical health problems.

CBT focuses upon how your thoughts and behaviours impact upon your emotions and physical symptoms.

CBT is collaborative treatment and typically involves doing homework tasks between appointments.

It aims to teach you to become your own therapist, teaching you tools so you can keep using the strategies and techniques you have learned after you have finished therapy.

What is EMDR?

EMDR Stands for Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing.

When a person experiences psychological trauma or highly stressful events, they are not always able to process the relevant information (i.e. thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations). As a result, they can end up getting “stuck” inside of them and can resurface later on, as if the person was still reliving the traumatic or stressful event.

EMDR aims to ‘process’ negative experiences or events which can subsequently improve emotional well-being and help to significantly reduce, but more often eliminate distressing symptoms and bodily sensations associated with the trauma.

In 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) has also acknowledged EMDR as being an effective treatment approach to psychological trauma and trauma-related disorders.
