About me

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with more than 20 years experience working with children and young people to support them through life challenges. I am very happy to adapt to neurodivergence (ASD, ADHD) and work with parents and carers. Experienced in many areas including developmental trauma and mental health conditions, I have worked in many areas from autism diagnosis, to education settings and NHS CAMHS during my career.

I now work in a rural environment from a shepherd's hut, and I use equine assisted, animal assisted and nature assisted approaches if it will benefit the child and family. There are many well evidenced benefits to including nature and animals in my work and I combine these with more mainstream evidence based therapy.

Areas of interest

Children and adolescents (up to age of 18); parent and carer support; ASD; ADHD; developmental trauma; Learning disability; anxiety; depression; challenging behaivour
