About me

I have worked within a variety of NHS clinical services since 2000 and have had my own private practice since 2017. I have gained experience of working with a wide range of clients in both Adult Mental Health Servies and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).

I use a number of therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) depending on the client's needs. I specialise in anxiety and depression, including associated problems such as OCD, panic attacks and self-harm. I will work towards, not only reducing symptoms, but also improving interpersonal relationships and quality of life.

I have been trained in diagnostic assessment of adult Autism and ADHD and work therapeutically with people struggling with difficulties associated with neurodiversity.

The therapeutic relationship is at the centre of my practice and I always aim to provide a confidential, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their difficulties, gain more understanding and develop healthier ways of coping.
