About us

Hi my name is Geena, I am a UK Trained, Specialist Clinical Psychologist, registered with the Health & Care Professions Council and hold membership with the Associates of Clinical Psychologists UK. Over the last seven years, I have trained and worked in a variety of different settings including with children and young people, adults, families, mothers and babies during the perinatal period, people with neurodevelopmental conditions, intellectual disabilities and older adults with dementia. My current clinical role is within an NHS Specialist Children and Adolescent Service and I am a Clinical Associate for RDA Psychology Practice.

I am experienced in a range of different psychological approaches. The key approaches that inform my practice are, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), compassion- focussed therapy (CFT), narrative therapy and systemic therapy.

I try where possible to adopt a decolonised approach within my therapeutic work, I am aware of how therapeutic models can be quite westernised. My thinking is informed by liberation psychology/theory, critical whiteness theory. This has fuelled throughout my career, my desire to contextualise people from all backgrounds within a therapeutic space. I am passionate about working with and holding in mind individuals and/or family members diverse identities, to help them understand the difficulties they may find themselves facing in everyday life. I am also curious as to how we can empower ourselves and hold onto our own acts of resistance whilst we face challenges in our lives.

I know coming for therapy can lead to many emotions and feelings and I will always provide a compassionate, judgement-free and reflective space where we can explore whatever is important to you.
