About me

I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years of experience working in NHS mental health services with people of all ages. I currently work as a Senior Clinical Psychologist in a specialist NHS adult mental health service. In addition to my Clinical Psychology doctorate, I have completed additional training in a variety of approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (PGDip).

I have a great deal of experience and specialise in working with adults with anxiety, mood difficulties, low-self esteem, trauma and PTSD. I have experience of working with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties including psychosis, stress, attachment and relationship difficulties. Currently, I predominantly offer remote online appointments.

I use a flexible and integrative approach by drawing on a range of evidence-based therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Narrative Therapy (NT) and Systemic approaches. I have a special interest in the impact of self-criticism and self-compassion on psychological wellbeing.

I always aim to provide a warm, genuine, non-judgemental and safe space to help clients explore difficulties and make meaningful change. I believe in the value of making sense of our current challenges in the context of our life experiences and work creatively and collaboratively to ensure therapy is tailored to your individual preferences, needs and goals.
