About me

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist, EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner, and Director of 'The Parkstone Practice'. I am passionate about supporting people to develop greater understanding of themselves and their experiences, and make positive, lasting change.

I have over 12 years' experience working in various settings including the NHS, charities, and the private sector, and have helped with a wide range of difficulties including but not limited to: anxiety, stress and burnout, trauma/PTSD, grief, loss, low self-esteem, and low mood/depression.

I also have expertise and interest in the relationship between mental health and addiction (particularly alcohol use), with experience helping people in recovery. I feel strongly about increasing support and understanding, and reducing stigma towards those struggling with alcohol/drug use.

Alongside my clinical work, I am committed to psychological research, completing my PhD in 2018. I have conducted and published numerous research studies (see here), and presented findings at conferences in the UK and abroad. It is rare for a psychologist to have completed both clinical and research training to doctoral level.
