About me

I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist committed to helping adults, young people and families achieve their goals and find healing within a safe environment. I specialise in helping people who experience intense anxiety. My greatest passion is helping people heal from trauma (any experience(s) that caused intense distress and overwhelmed the individual’s ability to cope). Unprocessed trauma frequently co-exists alongside symptoms of anxiety, OCD, depression, stress or burnout. These symptoms often lead to restrictive psychological obstacles preventing you from enjoying your life, such as avoidance, relationship difficulties and social isolation. Getting to the root cause of your difficulties and not just treating the symptoms will provide you with effective and lasting change – enabling you to live the life you want. Together we will develop a greater understanding of yourself, your relationships and your values, and ultimately find a sense of calm and purpose back in your life. We will help you become unstuck and move forwards toward living a more balanced and fulfilling life - Creating the life you want and deserve!

The main evidence-based treatment model I use is EMDR therapy. I also incorporate a wide range of therapeutic strategies from various approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), including Mindfulness techniques and Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT). My approach is adapted to the individual or family I am working with to meet their specific needs.
