I have worked in the NHS for over 10 years, working with patients in a wide range of context such as: Diabetes,Stem Cell Transplant, Cancer, Plastic and Orthopaedic surgery, Amputee and Palliative care.

I have seen a range of issues including anxiety, low mood and depression, loss, grief and trauma. I also work with LGBTQ and neurodivergent people.

My Qualifications include: a BSc ( Hons) in Psychology, MSc Health Psychology and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I have also had additional trainings in EMDR, Narrative therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and Surgical Assessment.

I have expertise in evidence based approaches to support people with the difficulties they face.
