About me
I am a consultant clinical psychologist with experience working in the NHS and private practice. As a therapist I am trained in cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) eye movement desensitisation reprocessing (EMDR) and psychodynamic interpersonal therapy (PIT).
From my experience I know there are many reasons that we as humans can become stuck and this prevents us from living a meaningful and fulfilling life. Sometimes a single appointment is enough to pause, ,make sense of things enabling someone to move forward. Other times a course of therapy is helpful and can allow someone to improve their life and progress.
I specialise in working with PTSD, complex emotional and relational difficulties, Anxiety and depression.
I also offer:
Assessment and formulation sessions (1 to 5 sessions)
Cognitive assessments and court reports.
Consultation to businesses to improve workforce wellbeing and productivity
Appointments vary but single appointments or individual therapy sessions are available most weekday evenings and during the day on Mondays and Fridays.

Additional information
Any additional service costs (e.g letters to your GP if you request this) will be discussed before completion.
Cancellation Policy
While we appreciate that there are many valid reasons why clients may need to cancel their appointments at short notice the following policy applies:
In providing us less than 24 hours notice in the cancellation of your appointment this incurs a cost to us in both the loss of room fees already paid for and not allowing us enough time to offer your slot to new clients. We hope you can appreciate that this means the full cost of the session is incurred. If you are having therapy paid for by your insurer you will be personally responsible for paying any unattended or cancelled appointments.
