About me

Experience

I would describe myself as warm, light-hearted and personable with a desire to create a safe, containing space where clients feel heard and respected. I have over almost 16 years experience of working in mental health. I currently work in an NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service but also see clients privately in Kent and East Sussex.

My work experience has included working in research at University of Liverpool, University of Birmingham and the Institute of Psychiatry working on large research projects including randomised controlled trials. I have worked across a range of settings including specialist mental health services, inpatient wards, GP surgeries and prisons. This has given me a great deal of clinical experience working with a wide range of different people including children and adolescents with eating disorders, adults, older adults, people with brain injury and people with learning disabilities.

How I work

I take an integrative approach to formulating and working with clients drawing from a range of psychological models and theories to find the best way forward to help clients to achieve their goals. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is an important factor in creating an environment that fosters change, hope, acceptance and understanding.

Types of therapies I have used

I have experience of using a range of psychological models and approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), systemic, narrative, mindfulness-based approaches, parent-child psychotherapy and Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT). I am trained in and qualified to practice Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have experience of offering therapy to individuals, couples and families as well as to groups. I also have skills and experience in neuropsychological testing. I can also offer Video Interaction Guidance (VIG).
