About me

After qualifying in 2006, I started an NHS role in Health Psychology � working with clients with diabetes and weight management needs then in 2009 I started another NHS role in the Bariatric Surgery Service and Weight Management Service. In 2008 I started independent practice � working with adults with a range of mental health issues including anxiety, phobias, depression and eating disorders, primarily utilising a cognitive behavioural therapy approach. My private work has continued and in 2016 I became clinical director of Select Psychology in Tynemouth where I have a regular clinic as well as operating at the Nuffield Hospital in Newcastle. In 2020 left the NHS to focus on my private work and continue to work within the NICE guidance and maintain strong collaborative links with NHS professionals working in private pratice.

I have a warm and friendly style that allows people to feel at ease and talk about their issues in a way that feels comfortable. My work is always non-judgmental and it is important to me to have an individually tailored and collaborative approach. This allows people the opportunity to better understand and address their issues through developing coping skills and ultimately achieve their goals in therapy.

Compassion Focused Therapy
