About me
I am a Counselling Psychologist and work with children, adolescents and adults with a range of mental health issues. These include low mood, anxiety, OCD, trauma, relationship issues, work related problems, autism and ADHD. I offer a warm, empathic approach and working together, aim to help make sense of your experiences and challenges to better equip you to make positive changes going forwards.
I have worked in the field of psychology for a number of years. Most recently I have worked at CAMHS Barnet. My experience also includes working in NHS settings including a GP practice and a drug and alcohol clinic.
Working integratively, I draw upon the use of different modalities to suit your individual needs. Examples of different approaches include EMDR, Acceptance Commitment therapy, Cognitive Behavioural therapy, Solution focussed therapy, Humanistic and Psychodynamic therapy.
I offer a free initial 10 minute telephone consultation to discuss your needs.
