About me

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) - PYL34874.

I am highly skilled in working with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, low mood/depression, OCD, problems with anger and frustration, and difficult life circumstances such as work related issues, bereavement and relationship difficulties. I also have expertise in working with people experiencing physical health problems, supporting them to live well with long-term health conditions such as chronic pain, cancer, heart and lung conditions.

Prior to becoming a Clinical Psychologist, I worked as a health promotion specialist and have significant experience helping people to make health behaviour changes such as weight loss, alcohol management and smoking cessation.

My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing on a broad range of psychological ideas to help my clients gain a better understanding of their psychological and emotional response to their difficulties and to support them to move forward with their lives.

My favoured therapeutic approaches include: Solution Focused Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
