About me
Perhaps a specific issue has led you here today. Perhaps you would like to explore difficulties in your early life and how those are impacting on you today. We all go through times when some additional support could be useful. Perhaps I'm the right person to help. I have extensive experience of working in NHS and charity settings as well as abroad. Aside from my private practice I currently work as a Senior Clinical Psychologist in an NHS service. I have worked with a wide range of difficulties and have the most experience in working with complex trauma, interpersonal difficulties, mood management, and autism spectrum conditions.
As a clinical psychologist, I am trained in a broad range of therapeutic modalities. I am accredited in schema therapy and mentalisation-based therapy. I have further special interests in psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, and skills-based approaches including mindfulness. My choice of which approach to use is always formulation-driven and based on clients' preferences and choices.

Further information
I know how crucially important the therapeutic relationship is. I think it is important to spend enough time at the beginning building this relationship and bond. Because of this, I offer free initial consultations. Feel free to contact me (email preferred) to see if we 'click' and you feel confident working with me.
