I am a Senior Specialist Clinical Psychologist and Family Therapy Practitioner with over 10 years experience of working in the NHS, private and voluntary sectors. I am accredited through the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I am a chartered member of the Division of Clinical Psychology and the British Psychological Society. I am also a member of the Institute of Family Therapy.

It is a privilege to set up and clinically lead some award winning nationally recognised services for the NHS. I currently lead psychological provision within urgent and acute care for an inner city London NHS Trust. I hold a teaching fellow and am a Senior Clinical Tutor at UCL where I teach and train the psychologists of the future. Additionally, I have a thriving private practice in London.

I am a lecturer on the Clinical Psychology Doctoral Training Course at the University of Surrey. I am experienced clinical supervisor for the UCL, UEL, Royal Holloway and Surrey clinical psychology doctoral training programmes. I also have the pleasure of clinically supervising the work of a great number of Clinical Psychologists and other mental health professionals who deliver psychological therapies.

I specialise in working with adults and couples. I also work with organisations to enable their staff to achieve optimal mental health and maximize their performance. As an experienced professional coach, I have had the pleasure of working with high achieving individuals to enable them to achieve their career and personal goals.

My approach is friendly and collaborative whilst being rooted in the latest evidence base. I provide a safe and reflective space for us to think together and create positive change. I believe in using humour in my work.

I offer a range of NICE recommended therapies: Cognitive, Behavioral Therapy Psychodynamic, Solution Focused, Narrative, Systemic and Mindfulness therapies. I believe in tailoring the therapy to my client's needs. Often, the therapeutic package I offer will draw on a mix of therapeutic techniques designed to optimise individual and couples' mental wellbeing. I also offer neuropsychological assessments for dementia, cognitive impairment and IQ testing.

Please call or email me if you would like an appointment. It would be great to know which clinic it is easier for you to get to - SW4 or SW18. I usually have a brief chat with you over the phone and then book you in to one of my clinics if I feel it would be helpful for us to meet.
