About me

Welcome.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist based in South West London. I have worked in psychological services for over 15 years supporting people with a range of psychological, emotional and relational issues. I currently specialise in working with adults experiencing difficulties due to anxiety, depression, and trauma within the NHS, alongside my work in private practice.

My Approach

I offer a down-to-earth approach and a safe space which will allow us to work together to explore any difficulties you may be facing in order to find ways to make meaningful changes.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I am trained in various evidence based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR). I am also influenced by other approaches including Mindfulness, Compassion Focused Therapy, Systemic Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). As such, I am able to offer a personalised approach to therapy focused on meeting the specific needs and goals of each individual.

Getting Started

When you contact me I will aim to get back to you on the same day for further information. We will arrange a time to meet for an initial assessment.

During our first meeting we will consider if I am able to offer the support you need and whether you think we can work well together. There is no obligation to arrange any further sessions at this point. If we do decide to meet again we will then use the next sessions to plan what you want to focus on and we will start our therapeutic work.

How many sessions will I need?

It’s difficult to know exactly how many sessions each individual will have. Some people benefit from a brief course of sessions, whilst others might decide to opt for longer-term therapy. This is something we will discuss when we first meet. 

Training, qualifications & experience

My qualifications & training include:

  • Doctorate in Clinical Psychology - Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Systemic Approaches, University of Southampton
  • Advanced Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Workshop, Russ Harris & Contextual Psychology
  • EMDR Training (Parts 1-3) EMDR Europe Association
  • Clinical Supervision Training, University of Surrey
  • Trauma Focused CBT for PTSD Workshop

I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). My membership confirms the reliability and validity of my qualifications and my professional status, as well as my credibility as a competent and effective Clinical Psychologist.
