About me

I'm a Registered Clinical Psychologist offering psychological therapy online and in person from my clinics in Hatfield and St Albans.

I'm passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges, develop a deeper understanding of themselves and make meaningful, lasting changes that support a more fulfilling life.

I trained as a Clinical Psychologist to doctoral level, completing extensive academic, clinical and research training. Since qualifying, I have gained broad experience across both the NHS and private practice, working with people experiencing a wide range of psychological and emotional difficulties.

I have particular experience in supporting people living with complex and persistent health difficulties. My NHS experience has included working at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery within a specialist headache centre, Essex Community Pain Management service at Hillingdon Hospital in both inpatient and outpatient medical settings.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based psychological therapies, drawing particularly on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I integrate these approaches according to your individual needs.

I aim to create a warm, supportive and non-judgemental space where we can work collaboratively to understand what is keeping you stuck and identify ways forward. Therapy may be focused and short-term or more exploratory and longer-term, depending on your circumstances and goals.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading fiction, exercising, hiking in the Lake District and spending time with my family.
