About me

I am a chartered and registered Clinical Psychologist. I am experienced in providing evidence-based treatments, using a person-centred, integrative approach. I understand that coming to therapy is a very personal experience, and so I adapt the intervention I offer according to individual presenting needs and goals, offering a collaborative therapeutic approach. I seek to understand the wider sociocultural and environmental context of the people I work with, and I am inclusive and culturally sensitive in my practice.

My training as a clinical psychologist means that I can draw from a wide range of therapeutic models to best fit the individual, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapeutic techniques, trauma-focused interventions and third-wave approaches like ACT. I draw on psychodynamic principles, systemic ideas, mindfulness and compassion-focused techniques.

I am a compassionate, honest and non-judgemental therapist, who is dedicated to their clients and supporting them to understand themselves better, to live a more meaningful life and overcome challenges.

Areas of interest

Anxiety; Generalized Anxiety disorder; Social Anxiety; Specific phobias; Obsessive-compulsive disorder; Panic; Trauma; Complex Trauma presentations; Post-traumatic stress disorder; Depression; Post Natal Depression; Birth Trauma; Loss; Low Self-esteem; Stress; Relationship difficulties; Bereavement; Chronic Pain

I also work with individuals who may not have a specific clinical diagnosis, but are merely seeking to understand themselves better, improve their relationships and overall wellbeing.

I work with a range of ages, genders, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and neurodivergent individuals, and will adapt my approach according to specific needs.

I strongly believe that the foundation to a successful and effective therapeutic intervention is the therapeutic relationship, and I am committed to providing a positive therapeutic space and offering the highest standard of care.
