About me
As a Doctor of Clinical Psychology, I have over 20 years experience supporting adults and young people with a wide range of psychological and emotional difficulties. I aim to provide a warm, thoughful and a personalised solution focused approach.
I work with a diverse range of clinical issues, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, divorce and separation, co-parenting difficulties, work-related issues, family conflict, exam stress, body dysmorphia, self-harm, autism and ADHD.
Having practised exclusively in London, I have worked with people from a wide range of cultural, social and personal backgrounds. I believe that effective psychological support starts with understanding the individual as a whole, including their experiences, relationships, values, circumstances and beliefs. I therefore take an inclusive and non-judgemental approach, tailoring therapy to each person’s needs.
I recognise that people seek psychological support at different points in their lives and may need different levels of support. I therefore offer both tailored treatment packages and one-off consultations, depending on your individual needs and circumstances.
Whether you are looking for help with a specific difficulty, seeking clarity about a situation, or would benefit from longer-term psychological support, we can work together to find an approach that feels right for you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am trained in CBT, Systemic and Psychodynamic models of therapy. The main model that I use to provide assessment, formulation and treatment, is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), however, I will tailor therapy and incorporate other models of therapy into the work, to meet the needs of patients.

Further information
At some point in our lives, we may need help and support in dealing with our problems. In my clinical practice, I first and foremost provide a confidential space where you can talk openly about your difficulties. I begin therapy by undertaking a comprehensive assessment to build a collaborative, shared understanding of your difficulties. Together, we will develop a tailor-made treatment plan to suit your needs that is grounded in evidence-based psychological theory and practice. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is a time-limited, evidence based therapeutic approach – during therapy we will regularly review your progress, to ensure that you are heading towards recovery.
I am committed to continuing my professional development, and undertaking further training where needed to build upon my knowledge and skills to provide an expert level of care to my patients.
