About me

I am an empathic, reflective, compassionate HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist. I have 13+ years of experience in the caring professions. I have worked with a range of individuals with various mental health difficulties across the lifespan.

The main therapeutic models that I use are Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT). I take a nonjudgemental, person-centered, validating approach in sessions, weaving in ideas and skills from different therapies as needed. I take a strengths-focused standpoint, acknowledging that you will have been doing the best you can with the current skills and knowledge that you have. Together, we can take a look at your past and/or present-day experiences and begin making sense of what's going on for you, making changes to move you towards your goals and/or what you care about.

I believe in the fundamental importance of the therapeutic relationship regardless of which therapy we use. I aim to gently and collaboratively create a warm, safe, compassionate space. I thoughtfully work with people with various areas of difference, such as those relating to neurodiversity, culture, and gender, taking a humble and curious stance. I will always hold an openness to learning from you, too.
