About me
I am a Adult, Child & Adolescent Psychotherapist committed to offering high quality, professional care based on extensive experience in clinical and nonclinical settings (NHS CAMHS clinics, schools, private practise). I am a qualified adult psychotherapist with 25+ years of clinical experience. I have also completed my professional training and doctorate in Child & Adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Tavistock & Portman NHS Trust. I am driven by integrity, professionalism and aim to offer optimal mental health outcomes through evidence-based practice and personalised care.
I am dedicated to offering compassionate care to children, adolescents and adults facing emotional challenges.
My approach is tailored to each individual, ensuring that they feel safe and supported throughout their therapy journey.
I specialise in treating anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, chronic illness, relationship difficulties, eating disorders and other addiction related struggles.
I also offer clinical supervision, consultation to organisations and specialist parenting support especially for those supporting children who have been adopted or are in care.
