About me
I am aware that seeking professional support for difficulties can feel daunting. I am passionate about creating a safe, containing and non-judgmental space to work with you to make sense of the challenges in your life and to work towards creating meaningful changes. I believe that it is important to tailor therapy to each individual’s needs and draw on their strengths and skills to overcome such challenges.
I work with a range of individuals (adults, young people and children) experiencing difficulties such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, loss, health related difficulties, and adjustment. As a Clinical Psychologist, I use an integrative approach in my practice, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), EMDR and narrative therapy.
Alongside my private practice, I currently work within an NHS specialist community mental health service supporting 18-65 year olds. I also have extensive experience providing support to NHS staff due to the emotional impact of their work. I previously worked as a Clinical Psychologist in NHS neonatal intensive care units, supporting individuals and families coping with loss, adjustment and trauma in relation to having premature or sick babies.

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.
