About me
As a psychologist, I prioritise showing up for my clients with presence and authenticity. I aim to inspire hope, through a compassionate and curious approach, and a genuine interest in understanding your story and what you want to get from therapy. Seeking therapy is a courageous act. I offer a therapeutic space that feels safe and containing where we can look collaboratively at whatever difficulties you may bring, and extend your courage further into making changes that will help you to live your life according to what matters to you.
I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and have been working within mental health and clinical settings for over 14 years. I have extensive experiences working across the lifespan adults, older adults, children and young people and within various settings NHS, community services, prison in-reach, private healthcare providers, learning disability services. Within these roles I have worked with a variety of physical and mental health conditions.

I have a British Psychological Society Approved Certificate in Clinical Supervision and enjoy supervising fellow psychologists qualified or trainee as well as other healthcare professionals.
