About me

Have you received a diagnosis of ASC and/or ADHD and are struggling to make sense of your experiences? Are you seeking an assessment?
Is your family struggling? Do you feel stuck in your relationship?

I am passionate about what I do and would suggest treating looking for a therapist like a bake off: pick a couple of therapists that appeal to you to get a range of experience and expertise before picking your favourite/preferred option.

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and I run a private practice. I operate in London & Edinburgh, specialising in neurodiversity across the lifespan. 

Training, qualifications & experience

I work in a flexible and creative way with a range of therapeutic modalities, that are evidence-based and effective to help with a range of problems often experienced by clients. I am available for individual and family therapy. At ClinPsychConsulting I offer assessment and diagnosis of neurodevelopmental conditions including autism and ADHD, as well as pre-assessment, post-diagnosis and no-diagnosis support for children, families and adult individuals.

I can also offer therapy in Swedish and Danish. 

I am fully registered with the Health Care Professional Council as a Registered Clinical Psychologist: PYL040718

I am Chartered Clinical Psychologist member of the British Psychological Society: 764695
