About me
Life can be incredibly challenging, and we can find ourselves stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the person we want to be. Deciding to reach out for support is a brave step, and choosing a therapist is a very personal decision.
Hello, I'm Angel, a Clinical Psychologist practicing in the NHS with over 10 years experience working in mental health settings. I support people struggling to cope with the impact of trauma, stress, and anxiety; where this might be impacting relationships, work, and your sense of who you are. I specialise in supporting people experiencing complex trauma and overwhelming emotions.
My personal experience of supporting neurodiverse family members and loved ones experiencing mental health challenges is central to my practice. I am LGBTQIA+ allied and welcome people from diverse cultural backgrounds. Furthermore, I am passionate about supporting and advocating for women's health issues, including endometriosis, PMDD, and menopause.
Within my NHS role, I work in an acute mental health hospital supporting people experiencing overwhelming emotions, dissociation, and/ or psychosis. I specialise in supporting women experiencing trauma who may have complex emotional and relational needs, and people experiencing co-occurring difficulties with mental health and addiction.
My priority is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel safe enough to process and make sense of your experiences. I will take the time to understand your unique experiences, strengths, and goals; tailoring therapy to meet your individual needs.
I can draw upon a range of evidence-based therapeutic models to support you, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Analytic-informed Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. I am also trained in offering Behavioural Family Therapy.
If you would like to find out more about me and how I might be able to support you, please do not hesitate to make contact and book a free initial consultation.
