About me

I'm a highly experienced clinical psychologist with expertise in mental health difficulties including anxiety, depression, personality disorder and trauma. My approach is warm and open. I balance acceptance and compassion with change focused techniques to help you achieve a better balance within your life. I can help you to process trauma that's holding you back or build a more compassionate approach to your internal world. I can help you identify blocks getting in the way of your wellbeing or fulfilment and develop practical strategies to manage effectively and build a more meaningful, emotionally connected approach to life. I work both in person in brighton or online via zoom.


My approach usually draws from cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy (dbt) and eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (emdr). Dbt helps notice and change dysfunctional or harmful patterns in your life and emdr helps to process traumas from your past. I am an accredited DBT therapist (there are currently (Oct 2024) only 159 fully accredited dbt therapists across the uk and Ireland). My service provides full treatment dbt for individuals with and without a personality disorder diagnosis. There is an emerging evidence base for using dbt for individuals who are neurodiverse (eg adhd or autism). I am also trained in emdr which I use as part of my private practice. I work with adults and adolescents to build a meaningful and connected life.
