About me
I am a clinical psychologist with 14 years of experience working in the NHS.
I offer in-person psychological therapy and clinical supervision.
In therapy, I invite a person to say what comes to mind, I listen and think, and I share thoughts that come to mind, with the intention of trying to understand the person and their experiences.
I believe that working with me can help a person to improve their quality of life and to develop.
My work is informed by psychoanalysis.

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.
