An NHS award-winning BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (CBT) and Social Worker.
With over 15+ years of experience across Health, Education, and Social Care, I specialise in therapy, coaching, advisory services, and organisational consultancy.

This Is My Story
The Vision Behind Prior Mindset
​
Prior Mindset is more than a clinic, it’s a mission to close the gaps in mental health and family care. Inspired by the legal field’s pay-for-advice model, Prior Mindset offers immediate access to a Social Worker and CBT professional.
​
I believe early intervention and personalised care are the keys to lasting positive change.
Together, we can create a path toward resilience, empowerment, and hope for individuals, families, and organisations.
