About us

I qualified as a Counselling Psychologist to doctoral level in 2007 and have over 20 years clinical experience in working with adolescents and adults across the lifespan. I have worked extensively in NHS Adult Mental Health as well as private healthcare settings with clients presenting with a range of emotional, social and behavioural difficulties. My overarching aim is to help clients feel understood, safe enough and able to enhance their overall sense of psychological well-being and life satisfaction. My therapeutic approach draws on up-to date psychological theories and evidence-based psychological interventions which are then adjusted where needed according to a clients' difficulties, circumstances, strengths and goals.

I am also experienced and qualified to assess and diagnose ADHD and Autism in Adolescents and Adults. Where needed I am able to make recommendations for neuro-affirming and inclusive workplace or educational adjustments.
