I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist with a background in both NHS and private settings, and am experienced working with a range of mental health difficulties and physical health diagnoses. My previous experience includes working with those experiencing anxiety and depression, working with torture survivors, working with adults with acquired brain injury and other neurological conditions, and working as an expert witness for civil, family and criminal courts.

I have particular areas of interest in: trauma (including PTSD and adjustment reactions); perfectionism and self-criticism; and long term health conditions. I work in an integrative way, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches in order to tailor an approach that works best for you.

Every person’s situation is unique, and therefore I believe in offering an integrative, individualised approach to therapy. I draw on principles and techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I understand the importance of a confidential and reliable space to discuss your situation, and the value of collaborative working to see the best results.

Most of us encounter moments in our lives in which we need some support – perhaps you’ve experienced a significant change, a loss, or maybe you’ve realised that you’ve been feeling distressed or stuck for some time now. Therapy can help you to understand these feelings and find ways to move forwards.

I believe in a humanistic and person centred approach that creates space for compassion, emotion, humour, and reflection, alongside practical strategies and a supportive environment to help you to find your path forwards.

I work with several insurers including Bupa, Cigna, WPA, Vitality and AVIVA.
