About me
I have been a qualified Chartered Clinical Psychologist for over 18 years and have over 30 years experience of working in mental health. I am a Certified Schema Therapist and have been using this modality for eight years. I also work integratively with other modalities including CBT and and principles from psychodynamic and other therapeutic disciplines. I can provide therapy for issues surrounding anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, work challenges, low self-esteem, bullying, exam and school stress, eating disorders, addiction, alcohol misuse, personality disorder, neurodivergency and many other presenting difficulties. I enjoy working with transitional periods of life, whether it be a new stage of parenting, school, work, retirement or a change or crisis within a relationship. I am passionate about people learning to maximise their potential and learning to thrive, building a narrative on resilience, post traumatic growth and hope.
