About me
I am a clinical psychologist with previous experience in treating anxiety disorders, depression, eating problems and stress related difficulties. I am a little extra passionate about helping others become more caring towards themselves. In my work, I mainly use CBT, ACT and CFT. CFT is a therapeutic approach that aims to help those who struggle with shame and self-criticism by developing self-compassion. It integrates techniques from CBT. I completed my CFT training at The Compassionate Mind Foundation. This has been founded by the father of CFT, Paul Gilbert.
I am also passionate about the influence of nutrition on mental health. I have completed training in the field to better understand how nutrition (or the lack of it) can impact mood and feelings.
Areas of interest
My areas of interest include: anxiety disorders, depression, stress related problems (i.e. burn-out), relationship difficulties, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and disordered eating. I draw on a variety of therapeutic methods, including Compassion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Schema Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
I work with both adolescents and adults.
