About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years experience of working with people struggling with a broad range of psychological difficulties. I am a warm and empathic therapist and provide a safe place for clients to work collaboratively in identifying patterns that are not serving them well, and to learn skills to manage their thoughts and emotions more effectively, so that they can live a meaningful life in line with their values. I have worked across a variety of NHS and private health settings, with a variety of psychological presentations and severity, e.g. anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, chronic health conditions, relationship difficulties, low self worth, amongst others. My main model of therapy is Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT) but I take an eclectic approach; drawing on variety of models (cognitive behavioural, psychodynamic, systemic, schema, and compassion focused therapy), in order to tailor treatment to meet the individual needs of each client.

I am also qualified to provide Assessments of ADHD in adults and strive to provide a neuro-affirming approach to therapy. I take into account an individuals neurodivergence; recognising their strengths as well as their challenges; collaboratively working to prioritise each individual's areas of concern and their values.
