About me
I'm a registered Clinical Psychologist with 12 years of experience of working in NHS mental health services with adults who experience common mental health problems such as depression, anxiety & post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I have a particular interest in helping people to heal from trauma and supporting them to move beyond survival mode so they can reach their true potential and live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
I have been trained in a range of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and my work is informed by Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT).
It's normal to feel nervous at the thought of starting therapy, therefore I aim to offer a warm, non-judgmental environment for you to safely explore what is going on for you and identify what you'd like to achieve by the end of our sessions. Contact me for a free telephone consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.

- Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Liverpool in 2017.

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.
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.
