About me
I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist holding professional registration with the Health Care Professions Council and Chartered membership with the British Psychological Society. I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at University College London.
I am one of the clinical leads in a leading NHS service at University College London Hospital. As part of this role, I specialise in working with young people affected by a range of psychological difficulties within the context of medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes & chronic pain. I also work a great deal with the effects of traumatic experiences and I am passionate about supporting people to help them get back on track in life.
Trainings & Approaches
As a clinical psychologist I am trained and work with a range of psychological approaches including
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - this includes aspects of mindfulness, compassion and Acceptance and commitment Therapy
- Narrative Therapy & strength based approaches
- Relational psychotherapies - this includes humanistic, existential and psychodynamic therapy
- Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
I don’t believe in a one size fits all approach and I readily focus on each individual’s unique journey, context and ideas.
I am influenced by a range of psychological therapies and feel this quote sums up my approach and belief about the therapeutic process: “I believe that a different therapy must be constructed for each person because each has a unique story.” Irvin D. Yalom.
As a clinical psychologist I am also aware of the evidence base and its important that the work i do is helpful and effective.
Who do I see?
As I clinical psychologist I am trained to work with a wide range of client groups. Within my NHS work I specialise in working with young adults and privately I am available to work with adults, children and young people.

What to expect
The first session is a chance to get to know you and find out what you are wanting from therapy. We will then agree to meet for a number of sessions and and at the end of these to have a review to see if the sessions are meeting your expectations and making a difference for you.
I welcome discussions in the first instance on what sort of support you might be looking for.
