About me
I'm a compassionate and empathetic Clinical Psychologist and BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist. I'm trained in a number of therapies to help you find ways to overcome your difficulties and learn new skills to cope. I will provide you with a safe space so you can share and understand your experiences. Whether your difficulties are new or long-standing we can use therapy to help you to improve your mood, improve your quality of life and find ways to achieve your goals.
I have been working as a therapist since 2009. I worked in the NHS for a number of years, and now alongside my client work I work for a university leading training courses for therapists. I specialise in working with people who feel anxious, worried, overwhelmed and/or low. I also work with those who have experienced trauma, have physical health conditions or ADHD.
Therapy can improve your mood and your quality of life. If you would like to gain support with the challenges you face or would like to learn new skills or ways of coping, please contact me.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have been offering therapy to adults for 17 years, in NHS, voluntary and private settings.
As a Clinical Psychologist, I have trained to doctorate level, learning a variety of ways to help you. I am registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC), reflecting my commitment to professional and ethical practice. I am an accredited CBT therapist with the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), demonstrating my level of training in this evidence-based therapy. I have further training and experience in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion-Focussed Therapy.
My extensive training and experience means that I can tailor my approach to you, offering you the most helpful therapeutic tools.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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 BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
