About me
I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years experience working in the NHS. I have gained experience working with a full range of difficulties from mild to more severe and I offer both short and longer term therapy. I am experienced in working with a range of difficulties including, low mood, anxiety, self esteem and confidence, stress (including with health professionals and therapists), relationship difficulties and trauma. I also offer personal reformulations. I work collaboratively and draw on my experience and range of skills and training to tailor any therapy to the individual.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified in 2003 as a Clinical Psychologist and currently work in the NHS as a Consultant Psychologist and part time in private practice. Since qualifying I have trained in a number of specialist therapy modalities. I am a qualified Cognitive Analytic Therapist and Supervisor, registered with ACAT. I have also completed intensive DBT training, compassion focused training (advanced) and EMDR training. Outside of therapy, I contribute regularly to therapy training, supervision and reflective practice and co-edited a book on reflective practice.
