About me
I'm an HCPC registered and charted clinical psychologist specialising in adult mental health (ages 18+). In my practice I use a range of psychological therapies, particularly elements of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), compassion-focused therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, person-centred counselling and positive psychology. I am passionate about not only helping people to overcome their difficulties, but to also uncover and build upon their strengths and resilience.
I have a particular interest in treating anxiety (and many of its various forms), as well as depression. I understand how much courage it takes to reach out for help and I strive to help my clients feel safe and secure so that they can move forwards.
I am an external lecturer for the University of Leeds clinical psychology programme and I also regularly mentor University of Hull undergraduate psychology students, as part of their e-Mentoring programme.
In my spare time I love gardening, walking, animals (especially dogs!), playing the piano and writing/recording music.
Please feel free to email or telephone me free of charge if you would like to find out more about how I work, etc. We can discuss whether or not I think it is something I can help you with, or possibly suggest another service instead.
First appointment
During your first appointment, we will have an in-depth and confidential discussion of the difficulties you are experiencing, any specific diagnoses, as well as different treatment recommendations.
Further sessions
Depending on the severity of the condition, psychological treatments can take anywhere from 6-10 weekly sessions for more mild symptoms, or up to 20 or more for more longstanding or severe conditions. This treatment is always oriented towards alleviating your symptoms whilst achieving the specific goals you most want to achieve.
**If you contact me via counselling directory, I always endeavour to promptly respond to all queries. Please keep an eye on your email spam folder in case my reply ends up there.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified as a clinical psychologist at the University of Leeds in 2012. Following various NHS roles, I have now been working in private practice full-time since 2017.
I completed a BSc (Hons) degree in psychology at the University of Hull in 2007, receiving a first.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Psychological Society
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
