About me

I maintain a broad clinical practice for adults and young people to enable me to work with the complex intersections of people's neurobiology, psychology, behaviour, identities and social circumstances. I have experience working with those who experience anxiety, depression, grief, eating problems, trauma, physical health problems and adjustment reactions to disruptive life events and relationship difficulties. I work with neurotypical and neurodivergent minds.
I tailor my interventions to suit the client and the priority areas of need. I am practical and straightforward in my focus and in my communication. I am compassionate, insightful, and resilient. I aim to impart practical skills, , valuable insights and useful long- term strategies. My aim is to help clients live as symptom free as possible, live more comfortably with themselves and make better choices for their future. My interpersonal manner is relaxed but focused. I draw on a range of therapies that I have trained in. I also draw on body centred approaches such as yoga, nutrition and mindfulness because these practices have a valuable role to play in reducing distress and enhancing wellbeing.

Areas of interest

Adults who are dealing with the impact of developmental trauma on their relationship patterns, and the life choices and beliefs about themselves that arise from adverse early experiences. These impacts can be obvious or very subtle. I have undertaken further specialist training in trauma therapy (EMDR) and attachment focused psychotherapy;
physical health conditions, especially problems arising from pregnancy, fertility challenges, childbirth and menopause and their impact on women's mental health;
eating disorders, disordered eating and women's complex relationships with their bodies. I have additional assessment skills and training to work with Autism and ADHD. I modify my practice for these clients and I work in a quiet space that can accommodate different sensory needs.
