About me
I am an HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist specialising in trauma and attachment, offering trauma-informed approaches with children, families and professionals. Having worked in the field of mental health across the NHS, third sector, local authorities and private practice for over 20 years, I provide a range of systemic, trauma-informed services including psychological assessments, therapy, consultation, reflective practice, supervision and training.
Relationships are at the heart of my work. The relationships we have with ourselves and others can shape our world, how safe we feel and how we respond when life becomes difficult. They can also be a place where change begins.
I offer a warm, compassionate space where you can feel heard without being judged or rushed. We'll work together to make sense of what you are experiencing and our work will be guided by what matters to you.
Whether you're seeking support for yourself, your family or as a professional, my approach is collaborative, curious and grounded in the belief that meaningful change can grow through connection.
