About me
Who I support
As a Clinical Psychologist and Neurodiversity Specialist I am experienced in supporting people to understand themselves and what support they need. I work with people who are struggling either in their home or work life.
I currently operate a waiting list for regular on-going therapy but I have space for Neurodiversity Consultations. These consultations help you to navigate the struggles you are having and where might be the best place to start to get support.
What approach do I use
I use a person-centred approach, working together to think about what goals you would like to work towards. I draw on evidence-based approaches that have been proven effective at reducing distress and improving individual functioning. Predominantly I use CBT, Narrative, EMDR and Mindfulness approaches.
Informal enquires welcome
I know that making contact with a therapist is often the biggest hurdle. Take your time and when/if you are ready, feel free to reach out. Remember, you are not expected to have any set answers - receiving support is a process that is shared together and starts by simply talking and exploring.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist working in both NHS and as a private practitioner. I trained at University College London (UCL) where I received a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I am registered with the Health Care Professionals Council.
I have worked in the NHS for 10 years, supporting children, families and adults presenting with a variety of needs.
I have experience working with both adults and children who are in need of one to one therapeutic support. This might be a short term focused engagement with therapy, or it might be a problem that does not feel so well-defined and requires a safe space to think and collaborate goals together.
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.
