About me
I’m a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Family Therapy Practitioner with more than 20 years’ experience across the NHS, private practice, and the voluntary sector. I’m accredited by the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society’s Division of Clinical Psychology, and a member of both the Institute of Family Therapy and the Society for Occupational Medicine.
Alongside my clinical training, I’m also qualified as a Business and Organisational Psychologist. This dual perspective enables me to offer psychologically informed executive coaching to leaders and teams who want to align performance with wellbeing.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of establishing and leading award-winning, nationally recognised psychological services within the NHS, UCL, and the charity sector. Today, I run a thriving private practice in Marylebone and Belgravia, where I work with adults and couples, and offer executive coaching rooted in psychological science.
I am also the Deputy Director of the Clinical Associate in Psychology Programme at University College London and lecture on the Clinical Psychology Doctorate. I lead the psychology services for an intergenerational charity and supervise clinical psychologists and mental health professionals across several leading UK training programmes, including UCL, UEL, Royal Holloway, and Surrey.
My work is grounded in evidence-based approaches, but always tailored to the individual. I offer a range of NICE-recommended therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, Systemic, Solution-Focused, Narrative, and Mindfulness-based therapies. Where appropriate, I also provide neuropsychological assessments for dementia, cognitive impairment, and IQ.
My style is collaborative, compassionate, and conversational. I believe that therapy works best when it’s a space for reflection, curiosity, and sometimes even humour. Together, we create the conditions for meaningful and lasting change.
If you're considering therapy or executive coaching, you're very welcome to get in touch. I currently accept self-funded clients as well as those with Allianz, Aviva, WPA, BUPA Global and Vitality, Cigna and Healix insurance.
