About us

I am a clinical psychologist and cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) therapist with substantial experience working with people who have relational/emotion regulation difficulties and/or complex trauma (with/without a formal diagnosis of personality disorder). My other areas of expertise are chronic self-criticism, perfectionism, dissociation and mood/anxiety difficulties. I welcome anyone who is interested in understanding more about themselves, their relationship patterns and their coping strategies, as well as those who are hoping to process past traumas and/or learn new skills to manage their current difficulties.

My main approaches are compassion-focused therapy (CFT) and cognitive analytic therapy (CAT), but I also weave in internal family systems (IFS), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I take a non-diagnostic and flexible approach, as I enjoy working with you as an individual with unique needs, challenges and strengths.

I appreciate how challenging it can be to attend therapy, and I offer a warm, safe and containing space to make this process easier for people. My aim is to help you feel understood and supported, allowing us to work through your difficulties with compassion and non-judgement. Please do get in touch to find out more about therapy with me.
