About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 20 years' experience working in the NHS, private and third sector.

I am dedicated to working closely with clients to identify and achieve their therapeutic goals, fostering a supportive and empathetic environment. I believe in the power of a collaborative relationship between therapist and client, which empowers individuals to take an active role in their treatment.

My expertise includes a wide array of modalities, from cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to psychotherapeutic approaches, allowing for a tailored approach that best suits each client's unique needs. The aim is to empower you by giving voice to your experiences, challenging negative beliefs, and promoting resilience.
I am also committed to continuous professional development, regularly engaging in advanced training and staying current with the latest research to provide the most effective care.

Clients might describe me as "compassionate with a pinch of challenge". I am committed to their well-being as I help individuals navigate life's challenges with a focus on personal growth and resilience.

We will explore your thoughts, emotions, and memories, helping you to connect the fragmented pieces of your experience and find meaning. This process can enable you to gain a deeper understanding of how your experiences have affected your life and how you can reclaim your sense of self and well-being.

My role as a therapist is to provide a non-judgmental environment where you can explore your past history and present difficulties at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we will navigate the emotions that arise and integrate your experiences in a way that supports you making meaningful changes.
