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

I have over 10 years’ experience working in both NHS and private mental health services. I currently work as a Senior Clinical Psychologist in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) with children, young people and their parents. I have experience working with people with mild to severe mental health problems. These include anxiety related conditions such as generalised anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, separation anxiety, social anxiety, PTSD, social phobia and other specific phobias. I have supported young people with low mood, depression and school refusal. I have experience managing risk such as self-harm and suicidal ideation and helping families to support young people who are experiencing these difficulties. I have worked with young people who have low self-esteem, eating disorders, sleep problems and other emotional difficulties. I have experience of assessing and contributing towards diagnosis for Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Video Interaction Guidance (VIG), Third Wave Therapies such as Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I have experience of family therapy and encourage families to be involved in supporting young people with their difficulties.

I usually meet with parents and young people together to begin with and then with the young person on their own when they feel comfortable to do so. My aim is to help explore the difficulties that individuals and families are looking for help with and then be honest and transparent in the ways in which I am able to support. I am able to offer individual sessions, family sessions and a mix of both when required. I recognise that engaging with someone new can be daunting for young people and their families and therefore initially I prioritise helping people to feel comfortable to share their difficulties.
