About Stefan
I’m a BABCP accredited CBT Psychotherapist & EMDR Therapist, with extensive experience working in NHS Talking Therapies Services.
My Story
I have always been interested in Psychology and supporting people with emotional difficulties. This interest led me to specialise in evidence based psychological therapies within the NHS, where I’ve had the privilege of supporting adults experiencing a wide range of mental health difficulties, and crucially, how psychological therapy can help people make lasting changes in their lives.

I work collaboratively with you to form a shared understanding of the problem. You are the expert in your own experiences. My role is to bring psychological knowledge and evidence based approaches to help us understand what’s keeping the problem going and identify practical ways forward.
I provide a safe and non-judgemental space where you feel listened to and respected. By taking a practical approach to therapy, we work together using CBT and/or EMDR to take concrete steps to better your overall emotional wellbeing.
Alongside working with a broad range of anxiety disorders and trauma, I have a particular interest in LGBTQ+ mental health and strive to provide an affirming therapeutic space where people feel understood, respected and able to be themselves.

Outside of the therapy room
Outside of work, I enjoy running, rugby and spending time outdoors in nature. I believe looking after our own wellbeing is important, and I try to bring that same balance and perspective into my work as a therapist.
