About me

I can help if you're seeking psychological therapy with an experienced, dedicated and compassionate clinical psychologist. I offer a safe and comfortable space where we will work together to help you overcome your difficulties. 

I am a chartered clinical psychologist and have 25 years of experience working within the mental health field. I have been working in private practice since 2018 and have developed a respected and established service where i can help people across Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the North East. 

Having trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches, i am able to offer more flexibility regarding the focus and direction of therapy in order to offer you what you need. For example, i am able to provide specific psychological interventions such as CBT or ACT or i can offer longer-term psychological therapy using Compassion Focused, Trauma Focused and Schema Focused approaches depending on your needs.

Compassion is at the heart of who I am, how I work and why I do the work I do. I’ve supported many people through therapy over the years and have helped them to move forward from adversity, trauma and debilitating symptoms.

My clinics are based in Gosforth and Jesmond close to parking, metro and bus routes. They offer a calm and conformable space. I also offer online appointments. 

Please get in touch to see how i can help you. 

I will respond to your message within 2 working days and can usually offer an assessment appointment within one week.

If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.
