About me

I am an HCPC registered Consultant Clinical Psychologist with almost 20 years experience of working in the NHS.

I have a specialist interest in working with anxiety disorders such as generalised anxiety, phobias, health anxiety, OCD, panic, social anxiety and chronic stress/burnout. My other area of interest is working with children and adults who have physical health challenges, such as chronic pain, diabetes, respiratory and gastroenterology illnesses and fatigue.

I also enjoy working with adults who are looking to improve their general wellbeing, cope with work stress or improve their quality of life.

In addition I a member of the UK Sports Institute Mental Health Practitioner Network, supporting athlete mental health and emotional wellbeing across a range of sports.

I draw on a number of different approaches depending on each client's needs, however I am passionate about the benefits of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which is a type of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Developing a safe and open space within the context of a supportive therapeutic relationship is important to me. I flexibly adapt my approach to the unique needs of each individual's presenting difficulties, and discuss evidence based treatment options following an assessment.

Please contact me via email to arrange a no obligation brief telephone call to discuss options.
