About me
I am a Clinical Psychologist, member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC; Registration Number PYL040002). The HCPC provide assurances of safe and high standards of clinical practice.
I have an extensive background and expertise in adult mental health difficulties including working with individuals whom have a physical health diagnosis. I have worked across many different physical health services such as:
- Diabetes
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Cardiology
- Respiratory
- Prosthetic and Wheelchair
- Renal
and many more.
My approach to therapy is to help you develop a better understanding of your current difficulties and improve your overall quality of life. I understand asking for help isn't easy but in doing so, you are one step closer to where you want to be.
Alongside therapy I offer formal ADHD assessments, reports and supported treatment plans. These can be offered over video or face-to-face. Please make contact for full pricing.
