About me

Having worked in the NHS since 2013, I have experience working with mild to severe and enduring presentations both in general adult psychology and with people who have chronic physical health conditions. I put emphasis on ensuring that we can jointly develop a shared understanding of your experiences and difficulties with the aim of empowering you to take actions to reach your desired goals.

I have had training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and EMDR. I also use a Cognitive Analytic Therapy informed approach in my work and find that focusing on relational approaches, how we relate to ourselves and others, is particularly important both within and out with the therapy room.

In addition to my therapeutic work I also provide clinical supervision to trainee and qualified psychologists and non-psychologists working in mental health settings. I value providing a safe and compassionate environment to discuss clinical issues and the related evidence base. My research interests have been primarily in the areas of clinical health psychology and body image distress.
