About me

I am a chartered psychologist offering face-to-face, video and telephone sessions.

I have spent most of my career working to improve people's quality of life and psychological wellbeing for those with a range of health conditions.

I take a compassionate approach and I work collaboratively with people to find the best approaches to help them to overcome their difficulties.

I participate in continuous professional development and have regular clinical supervision to keep up to date with the most effective techniques to ensure the highest standards of care for patients. I also provide supervision and am on the register of applied psychology supervisors with the British Psychological Society.

Distress or difficulty managing or adjusting to physical health conditions.
Adjustment following life-changing medical treatments, serious illness or injury.
Pain management
