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.
As a Clinical Psychologist practicing in the NHS, I support people experiencing a wide range of challenges, such as the impact of trauma, low mood, anxiety, psychosis, addiction, family troubles, and complex health problems. However, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, I will take the time to understand your unique experiences, strengths, and goals; tailoring therapy to meet your individual needs. Furthermore, 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, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
My priority is to build a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel safe enough to process and make sense of your experiences. I hope therapy can provide you with not only practical strategies, but greater confidence in navigating life's challenges.
I have personal experience of supporting neurodivergent family members and being a carer for loved ones experiencing mental health challenges. I am LGBTQIA+ allied and welcome people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
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.
