About me

Chartered Practitioner Psychologist PsychD, MSc, BSc (Hons)

I have over 15 years clinical experience working both within the NHS and the private sector. I have extensive experience in offering psychological and diagnostic assessments for a wide range of presenting mental health and neuro developmental challenges.

I am fully registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and a Chartered member of the British Psychological Society. This means that I adhere to safe and ethical clinical practice and you can therefore have trust in the services that I offer.

I have three degrees in psychology including a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology, Masters (MSc) in Clinical Psychology and a Bachelor of Science (BSc Hons) in Psychology . I also hold an advanced Diploma in Counselling.

I am trained to conduct a wide range of neurological assessments and have extensive experience of conducting ADHD assessments both privately and under the NHS 'right to choose' pathway for children and adults.

Areas of interest

I offer ADHD diagnostic assessments for children (ages 6-17) and adults (age 17+).

An ADHD assessment is a comprehensive evaluation, carried out in line with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines to determine if you meet the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Illnesses (DSM-5) criteria.

I offer an initial assessment to formulate your current concerns and mental health strengths and difficulties. During the initial assessment I will ask you to complete a number of questionnaires. Following the assessment, I will provide you with a written report detailing my formulation and support recommendations. Recommendations could include an invitation for a full ADHD diagnostic assessment or an onward referral for therapy.

I provide virtual assessments, or alternatively, you can request an in-person consultation at the clinic where I practice, located in Christchurch (BH23 1PL).
