About me
If you are reading this, you’ve just made a smart move.
You know how to get results. When you need expertise, you find it. That’s why you’re here.
Most of us reach a point where thinking harder isn’t the answer. You’ve built a life that largely works - but there’s something you keep returning to: a pattern, a ceiling, a recurring dynamic that hasn’t shifted yet. That’s not unusual. Some of what drives us runs deeper than awareness alone can reach, and knowing when to bring in the right expertise is exactly the kind of clear-sighted decision that gets results.
Twenty years as a Clinical Psychologist, five of them as a Consultant in the NHS, has given me something harder to train than knowledge: the ability to work with complexity without losing clarity. I’ve helped individuals, teams and entire services find their way through things that felt stuck or unmovable. That same capacity - to see the whole picture, find the thread that matters, and work at depth - is what I bring into one-to-one work.
This work will help you understand yourself in a way that hasn’t been possible before - how you operate, what’s driving the patterns beneath the surface, and what opens up when that shifts. It starts with understanding you fully - the pressures you’re carrying and what life is asking of you right now. From there, I bring the expertise, the structure and the guidance to help you move through it - with warmth, steadiness and genuine care.
Training, qualifications & experience
My foundation is a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology - and over twenty years, a continued pursuit of one question: what are the processes that bring about meaningful change?
That pursuit has shaped every training I’ve undertaken since. EMDR and Trauma-Focused CBT work at the level where patterns are held in the body and mind. Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy brings an attachment focus - because real change rarely happens in isolation; how we relate to others is often where the deepest shifts occur. NLP and Emotional Freedom Technique add a practical, empowering dimension - tools that people leave with and continue to use long after our work together ends.
Everything here has been chosen with the same intention: to be able to meet people where they are, work at the level that’s needed, and leave them genuinely better equipped.

Working Together
Getting Clear (2 sessions)
The first session (90 minutes) is dedicated to understanding you - what’s shaping your current experience. You leave with a personal reflective summary: giving you a clear picture of how it all connects. The second session (45 minutes) explores how these insights translate into everyday life - and what the next step looks like for you.
Focused Work (6 sessions)
A contained, purposeful piece of work for those who want to go further - well suited to a specific area or challenge you’re ready to move through.
Extended Work (12 sessions)
Where patterns run deeper, or there’s more you want to explore, twelve sessions create the space for this - steadily, and at a pace that suits you.
Further information
I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over twenty years’ experience across NHS, social care and independent practice.
My career has taken me across the full span of human experience - from early childhood through to adulthood, across clinical services, community settings and organisations, working with some of the most complex and underserved populations. I’ve worked as a consultant in children’s and adult services, specialised in staff psychology and workforce wellbeing, and helping services think differently about how they’re designed and delivered.
Over time, my work has become increasingly focused on the link between self-understanding, self regulation, relationships and personal agency. I am interested in how people adapt under pressure, how familiar patterns develop, and how people can begin to make changes that feel both meaningful and sustainable.
