About me

I'm a highly qualified and skilled clinical psychologist with over ten years' experience of working with people across the lifespan, with a specialist focus in child and adolescent mental health. I have worked in the NHS and local authorities over the years. I continue to do so part-time. I run a private practice on a scale that allows me to ensure a personal touch with clients. I never pass on work to associates and will only support people when I am confident of being able to make the positive changes they are looking for.

I am experienced in working with a range of mental health problems, from mild to more intense severity. I work most with anxiety and mood-based disorders as well as with neurodivergence and ADHD in particular. I am proud of my record of helping people make significant improvements in their mental health so that they can reach their potential and live the lives they deserve.

In terms of my personal approach within therapy, I am warm and friendly with a love of the work I do that you will see when we work together. As a proud parent, I will always ensure that I treat young people and their issues with the same respect and care as I would my own children. And with adults, the same applies. Successful outcomes in therapy require a positive therapeutic relationship based on honesty, and that will always be the foundation of my approach.

Further to my Doctorate in clinical psychology, I have specialist training in evidence based psychological approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectic Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I ensure that the decision about therapeutic approaches is collaborative and that the client's goals are always the driving force of the work we do.
