About me

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, with over 16 years of post-qualification experience working in the NHS and privately. I use a range of therapeutic approaches to support people to understand what is making them feel stuck or distressed and work towards sustainable change. I specialise in treating people with post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, work stress, depression and adjustment issues (for example to recent health or neurodivergent diagnoses or life changes). Having worked in the field of occupational health for many years I am also experienced in formulating the impact of organisational and institutional systems on our mental health.

I will work with you to understand how your past impacts you, but I focus on helping you make current changes to improve your quality of life at a pace that works for you.

I value authenticity, professionalism, compassion, safety, and acceptance.

I am a registered member of the Health Care Professionals Council [HCPC] and an accredited member of the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists [BABCP]. In addition to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy I have also been using Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing [EMDR] since 2014 to treat trauma and other difficulties rooted in memories that have not yet been properly processed.

I am experienced in working with people who have a temporary, and specific concern as well as those who have more long-standing patterns that make daily life hard to navigate.

I am supervisor-trained and have been supervising peers in the psychological professions since 2012.
