About me

I am a fully insured, HCPC-registered Chartered Clinical Psychologist and EMDR Therapist, with extensive academic and clinical experience in the field of psychology.

I have been working across various private and NHS mental health settings since 2017. I've worked in primary, secondary, tertiary, and specialist mental health services with people of diverse backgrounds, a wide range of clinical presentations, and varying levels of complexity.

Alongside my private practice, I currently work for the NHS in a trauma-specialist, adult community mental health service offering assessments and individual and group therapy to people affected by trauma.

Areas of interest

My primary therapeutic approaches are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also draw on Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), allowing me to tailor therapy in a way that's flexible, evidence-based, and right for you.

Difficulties I work with include but are not limited to:
- Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex PTSD
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- Low mood
- Phobias
- Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
- Health anxiety
- Panic disorder
- Social anxiety disorder
- Low self-esteem
- Insomnia
- Chronic pain
- Interpersonal difficulties

Please note I work with adults only and do not offer couple's therapy at this time.
