About me
I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist specialising in burnout, intense anxiety, perfectionism and imposter syndrome. I have 20+ years of experience within the NHS, the Military and the independent sector and have a successful independent practice. I am passionate about helping clients move towards change, psychological health and wellbeing.
I am a specialist in working with high achievers, senior leaders and professionals who experience intense anxiety and burnout, often brought about by perfectionism, imposter syndrome and people pleasing.
If you are struggling to manage the overwhelm, I can help you overcome the blocks that are limiting you, and move towards a life that feels in line with who you are. One that is impactful, fulfilling and meaningful. My way of working is to help you to learn about how your unique brain works and to build on your strengths to feel connected again, both to yourself and to others, and to enjoy, love and laugh again. Change is always possible, I can show you how.
I work from a trauma informed model and draw on my extensive training and experience in psychology and coaching to find the best and most helpful way forward for you. I am an Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) accredited clinician and also draw on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) models to support my clients.
If you are ready to make changes, please give me a call and let’s see how we can work together. I am committed to helping you move in the direction you feel you need right now. Get in touch and let's see how I might be able to help you. Or if a call feels too daunting, email me and I will respond to you as soon as I can.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
