About me

Welcome. I am a warm and compassionate Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years' experience supporting individuals, families, and groups. I have worked within the NHS and the charity sector, supporting people with a wide range of difficulties including depression, anxiety, trauma, shame, and self-criticism.

I hold a non-pathologising view of psychological distress and draw on a range of evidence-based models to help people address their concerns and move towards greater well-being.

I have a particular interest in working with adults who have experienced trauma. My approach is relational, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based frameworks, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Polyvagal Theory, and Mindfulness-based approaches. By integrating these methods, I aim to combine relational depth with neuroscience-informed practices to support the deep healing required for trauma recovery.

Many of the people I work with come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of self-criticism, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm � often wondering why they can't �just move on.� Together, we create a safe, non-judgmental space to gently explore what lies beneath these patterns and reconnect with the parts of themselves that have been silenced, hurt, or hidden away.
