About me

I am an enthusiastic and motivated Chartered Psychologist, who has worked with children, adolescents and adults for over 25 years. I have extensive knowledge and experience of working with people and their families with issues that can affect the entire lifespan and reflect a range of clinical severities, making me adaptable and innovative in my approach.

The breadth of my experience includes working with clients, from varying social and ethnic backgrounds, enabling me to deal with people�s differences and challenges, in a culturally sensitive way. I am able to draw upon my own experiences by bringing my whole self to the therapy session. It is integral that I am authentic with my clients, in building connection and rapport, whilst maintaining professional boundaries.

The foundation of my practice is to adopt a humanistic approach; person-centred and keeping the values of the person at the heart of the therapy. I have a particular interest in the mind body connection and treat my clients holistically; our emotions impact us psychologically and physically.

Early in my career, when working as a humanistic therapist, my work focused on those with substance misuse issues and bereavement, which makes me adept at dealing with clients experiencing loss and grief. This has embedded the humanistic approach in my practice and still influences the way I work.

My current specialisms are working with attachment and trauma; I work predominantly with neurodiverse clients. I have particular expertise in working with young people and those with complex trauma.
