Clinical Psychologist (DClinPsy, MSc, BSc)

About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over ten years of experience working in NHS mental health services and with the third sector. I offer a thoughtful and reflective space in which we can explore what you’ve been carrying, make sense of your experiences, and begin to move towards meaningful change. I value authenticity, compassion, and curiosity in my work. 

I specialise in individual therapy for adults facing a range of personal and emotional difficulties, including: 

  • Feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or emotionally exhausted
  • Navigating anxiety, panic, persistent worry, obsessive-compulsive difficulties (OCD), or feeling disconnected and low in mood 
  • Working through self-doubt, shame, and self-criticism 
  • Processing bereavement, losses and navigating difficult life transitions  
  • Making sense of painful events and their ongoing impact on your mind and body 
  • Finding it challenging to regulate or manage intense emotions
  • Feeling stuck in familiar distressing patterns in your relationships 

My work is informed by a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Schema Therapy, Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). 

I offer both short-term focused therapy and longer-term exploratory therapy. We will work collaboratively to build a shared understanding of your challenges and align our work with your hopes for therapy and values.
