About me

I work as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist specialising in work with children, adolescents, parents, families and young adults. I have worked in NHS psychological services for over 10 years including roles at Birmingham Children's Hospital and the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust.

I currently split my working time between private practice and the NHS where I work at Great Ormond Street Hospital as a Consultant Paediatric Clinical Psychologist.

I have expertise in assessment, formulation, and therapeutic treatment of a range of psychological and developmental issues including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, adjustment to chronic or life-limiting medical diagnosis, trauma, eating disorders, social communication challenges including Autism, difficulties of attention and hyperactivity and associated behaviour problems.

I specialise in working with individuals and families living with chronic medical conditions, (including work with parents and infants facing a new diagnosis in the neonatal period) and working with children and adolescents facing a range of emotional and behavioural difficulties.
