About me

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist (CPsychol, BPS and HCPC accredited and registered) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (BABCP accredited) working in private practice. I have a 10 year NHS background in adult mental health, and both in and out-patient child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS).
I work with adults, children and families on an individual and group basis. My practice integrates psychological approaches including traditional and 3rd wave mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT) including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). In addition to attachment theory and systemic family therapy. I have over 14 years of clinical experience working with individuals and families experiencing mental and physical health and neurodivergent associated difficulties including managing feelings of anxiety, low mood, depression, panic, stress, trauma, low self-confidence and self-esteem. When working with clients, relational and social communication/interactional difficulties in addition to environmental and contextual factors are always explored; taking a holistic approach using psychological formulation to explore the whole person, their history, current difficulties and lifestyle factors. I have an interest in nature connectedness and yoga psychology, working with the mind body relationship by incorporating body based somatic and breath work practices into my work, regulating the nervous system.
In addition to face-to-face sessions in the clinic, I offer remote video consultations and also active, mindfulness and walking-talking sessions outdoors. I personalise sessions always in collaboration with each individual client and their intended focus for therapy, in accordance with their personal values.

Areas of interest

Through a holistic, bio/psycho/social and spiritual lens, I work on a relational level to help individuals and families identify presenting difficulties and then work towards making meaningful change in-line with their goals and personal values. I place value and great importance upon my own relationship and connection to nature, my family, friends and community, movement and mind body integration. I understand the health benefits of meaningful connection as such. I have advanced my curiosity, training and practice since moving solely into independent practice, bringing greater focus on the mind body relationship, embodiment and nervous system regulation; incorporating somatic enquiry and practices with my clients.
