About me

I am a Chartered Consultant Counselling Psychologist and a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I work in the NHS and private Practice. I completed my training at the Institute of Psychiatry and City University and have extensive experience of working in private and public settings including NHS primary care Services, Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT), Eating Disorders and Specialist Trauma Services. My particular expertise and specialisms are in treating Trauma/PTSD, eating disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, stress, work and relationships issues. My therapeutic approach is underpinned in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), gearing towards Third Wave CBT Approaches such as Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). I also provide Trauma Focused interventions such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) for the treatment of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I’ve always been interested in what makes people tick—that’s almost a given for anyone choosing to train as a psychologist—and so it’s fascinating to me to be always learning more about the psychological processes that lead people towards positive life change. Yes, therapy is certainly challenging work, but the reward I feel when I’m able to make a real difference in somebody’s life is more than compensation.
