About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist with fourteen years experience working in NHS and private healthcare services. I understand that making a commitment to yourself through psychological therapy is a significant and courageous step. Therefore, I offer a complimentary twenty minute telephone consultation. This helps me to gain some understanding of your current difficulties and also gives you the opportunity to get a sense of the way I work. We can then discuss whether further psychological work with me is likely to be a good fit for you.

There are many reasons that people feel stuck, held back in life or experience distress. It is vital to build an understanding of what has contributed to each person's struggles and also consider their personal goals before beginning therapy. Only with comprehensive assessment is it possible to identify which form of evidence-based therapy is most likely to help you reach your potential. We will explore what triggers your distress and what distress looks and feels like to you. We will then outline a therapy plan together, mapping out steps towards helping you to cope with your experiences in a way which maximises your quality of life.

Areas of interest

Training in a range of therapeutic models allows me to develop a bespoke therapy approach to meet each individual's unique needs. I have particular expertise in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Mindfulness and Lifestyle Medicine approaches.
Each person's experience is individual to them. Labelling their experience does not feel helpful to everyone. To support clients to make an informed choice I have experience of:
Supporting people to recover from anxiety, panic, phobias, health anxiety, social anxiety and low confidence. Depression, bi-polar, mood disorders, bereavement and loss. I am trained in several treatment methods for trauma including PTSD, complex trauma and intergenerational trauma. I have particular expertise in supporting individuals struggling with issues relating to women's health, neurodiversities such as ADHD and autism, psychosis, personality disorders and addictive behaviours.
