About me

I am a Consultant Clinical & Chartered Psychologist with extensive experience working in the NHS before joining the independent sector in 2011 as the Head of Psychology for a one of the largest Inpatient Mental Health Hospitals in the UK. I left my Head of Service role in September 2019 to focus solely on my Director role at Taylor-Awenat Specialist Psychological Services.

My specialist area is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and I provide clinical training on this to The University of Manchester Clinical Psychology Doctorate and also to clinical teams nationally.

In addition to my training as a clinical psychologist (using multiple treatment modalities across different settings and client groups) I've trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Schema Therapy, Meta Cognitive Therapy, Compassionate Mind Therapy, and completed intensive training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.



I tailor my approach flexibly to the individual's presenting difficulties, lifestyle and their situation.

I work with both mental health difficulties (such as stress, burnout, depression, trauma, anxiety) and physical health (reactions to chronic physical health conditions, CFS, PPPD, weight management, etc).

I also work with clients who have no clinical disorder as such but who are looking to improve their work or sports performance, relationships or general wellbeing. Please feel free to contact my Practice Manager, Jenny to arrange a no-obligation telephone discussion with me to discuss your options.
