About me

I am a chartered and registered clinical psychologist specialising in the area of children, adolescents and families. I currently work in private practice providing clinical assessment and therapy to children, young people, families and adults with a range of mental health difficulties including depression, anxiety, behavior concerns, attachment difficulties and developmental trauma. I also provide support and consultations to residential care homes and schools.

I have worked with children, adolescents and adults with mental health presentations and developmental disorders. I have worked in various settings including CAMHS, specialist autism services, children's disability services and services for children and young people in care.
I have held clinical and leadership roles in both the NHS and private healthcare. I have worked as a qualified psychologist for nearly 20 years within a range of settings including Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, children's disability services, services for looked-after children, a specialist Autism assessment and support service and mental health in schools services.
I have also worked as a UK-based trainer for an internationally recognised organisation, delivering training on evidenced-based parenting interventions for professionals across the UK.
