About me

I am a Chartered and Registered Psychologist and am professionally registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
I have several key areas of focus.

Firstly, working to reduce the symptoms of people experiencing stress, anxiety and other negative experiences. This can stem from single or multiple life events.

Secondly, specialising in health related anxieties, including chronic pain conditions; disabilities and the impact of these.

I also work extensively with children, adolescents and adults who experience difficulties in social situations who may also have a diagnosis of Autism.

My treatment approach is based upon extensive experience in the private and public sectors. I initially qualified as a Forensic Psychologist in 2004. I have then undertaken extensive further training relating to the treatment of trauma and I am an Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist for adults and children.

Additionally, I integrate stress reduction techniques including Mindfulness, Clinical hypnotherapy and general wellbeing approaches into my therapeutic practice.

I am qualified and competent to diagnose Autism, using gold-standard assessments.

I am also a Mental Health First Aid Instructor (MHFA England) and can additionally devise and deliver bespoke workshops having also completed coaching and communication skills qualifications.

Areas of interest

Autism assessment and support for individuals and families; ADHD diagnosis and therapeutic support for individuals and their families. I work with children, young people and adults across the lifespan. I have an additional special interest in chronic pain, having acquired a chronic pain condition in 2018.
Treatment and management of a range of mental health conditions including anxiety, depression and complex traumas; using EMDR safely and ethically.
