About me
I am a chartered psychologist (HCPC, BPS) with over 20 years experience, offering psychological therapy. I now work exclusively in private practice following senior clinical and teaching roles in the NHS and at University College London.
My work is integrative, meaning I will adapt sessions depending on your needs and goals. My focus is on supporting people to better understand and confront habitual ways of responding to the challenges we face in life, in order to foster improved functioning and well-being.
I work with individuals who experience stress, burn out, low mood, anxiety, panic, chronic worry, PTSD, OCD, social anxiety, relationship and family issues, anger, bereavement, and physical health conditions, including chronic pain and insomnia. I also work with people who simply wish to improve the quality of their relationships or experience life with more ease.
Email me to arrange an initial 15 minute telephone consultation (no charge) to discuss how we might work together. If you are happy to continue, we can arrange an initial appointment. I might typically suggest having 6-12 weekly or fortnightly sessions, and then reviewing progress.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained as a Counselling Psychologist at University of Roehampton, qualifying in 2006. I am accredited by the British Psychological Society, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, and am a fully trained EMDR practitioner. My expertise was developed through 15 years as a senior psychologist at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, as well as 7 years as a clinical tutor at University College London. I now works exclusively in private practice.
My work draws primarily on cognitive behavioural approaches (CBT and ACT) alongside psychodynamic therapy, integrating an understanding of both present-day reactions and the influences of early life experiences.
Alongside my clinical work, I have spent many years studying Eastern philosophy and exploring the mind-body connection, bringing a broader and more holistic perspective to my practice. I also have lived internationally, including USA, Norway, and France.
