About me

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in Mental Health and Occupational Health with over 35 years of professional experience mainly working with adults and across the whole lifespan.

During my NHS career to Consultant Clinical Psychologist, I worked in community and hospital services across London and the South before entering independent clinical, coaching, occupational health and expert witness practice.

As a Clinical Psychologist, my clinical practice is based on the CBT approach combined with Integrative Psychological Psychotherapy. I work with the full range of mental health, trauma and occupational health issues. I have specialist expertise in childhood sexual abuse, sexual offences relationship and family issues, coercive control and domestic violence.

I also work with people experiencing issues regarding neurodivergency, personal identity and all forms of inclusion, difference and disability. I can offer specialist assessment across the range of Autistic Spectrum Disorders, ADHD/ADD but overall, I prefer to address these issues collaboratively from a positive strengths-based perspective to help people to accept themselves as they are and to work together therapeutically to develop more progressive adaptive ways to deal with challenging life issues they are facing.

I have extensive experience working with Occupational/ Work-related stress and Trauma, including specialist assessment and treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), and I have a specialist expertise in working with NHS leaders, managers and frontline healthcare professionals, police officers and other blue light emergency responders, and serving military personnel and veterans.

I have a private clinic in Putney where I can offer occasional face-to-face appointments, usually for initial sessions with remote sessions to follow.

Practically speaking, I cover the Richmond, Kingston, Surbiton, Esher, Weybridge and Chertsey areas as many clients like to know their clinician is local to them. However, as I primarily work remotely due to very high demand for flexible appointments by Zoom, telephone and video-calling, I can see clients from anywhere across the United Kingdom. International referrals may also be accepted, according to your BUPA policy.

I deal with all enquiries myself for your privacy so please feel free to contact me for an initial chat in complete confidence.
