About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 15 years of experience working in specialist NHS, Paediatric, and Social Care Family Services.

My main passion and speciality is supporting parents and carers of children or other loved ones, of any age, with mental health, emotional and behavioural difficulties.

I have worked with families with a spectrum of traumatic life experiences and mental health difficulties. This work has often been very complex in nature and within complex systems.

Being a Clinical Psychologist means I am trained to work with a variety of mental health difficulties using a number of treatment approaches. I predominantly work using more systemic models, for example Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST), and Adaptive Mentalisation Based Integrative Treatment (AMBIT). However, I also incorporate tools and techniques from Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Compassion focused approaches (CFT). I am also a trainer in Storm Self Harm and Suicide Prevention Training.

My strength is in leaving people feeling heard, making sense of complex situations, and targeted emotional support.
