About me
Whether it’s anxiety, trauma, stress, low mood, difficult thoughts, low confidence, relationship difficulties or a whole host of other potential reasons for emotional distress I have nearly 2 decades experience working within the NHS and private practice with a full range of psychological difficulties. I also work at the University of Liverpool helping to train clinical psychologists entering the profession. I take a collaborative approach with clients to identify their current difficulties and what therapeutic approach might help make positive steps towards change.
I have particular expertise in medical psychology, working with individuals struggling with their physical health or a journey linked with their physical well being - this might include coming to terms with poor health or infertility or a health journey with demanding treatment.
Whatever your struggle I would be pleased to take time to talk with you in a brief free telephone consultation (usually 10-15 minutes) to identify if I am the right therapist for you. Don’t hesitate to reach out, and if I can’t help I will try and support you on to identifying someone who may be able to assist.
