About me
I am a Clinical Psychologist, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapist, and EMDR Therapist with over 20 years of experience in the field.
I am passionate about supporting you in creating a fulfilling and meaningful life where difficult thoughts, emotions, or physical sensations no longer hold you back. Whether you're struggling with distressing memories, overwhelming emotions, a sense of purposelessness, or feeling stuck, I aim to help you find balance and move forward with confidence.
In my work, I emphasize the vital connection between mind and body, recognizing that true wellbeing comes from nurturing both. My recent training as a Yoga Teacher allows me to integrate the therapeutic benefits of yoga into my practice, providing a holistic approach to mental health. Yoga, with its focus on the mind-body connection, can be especially helpful in managing stress, anxiety, and trauma by fostering self-awareness, emotional regulation, and grounding through movement and breath.
I draw on diverse psychological approaches and have worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
I am registered as a Clinical Psychologist with the HCPC and a CBT Therapist with the BABCP.

Further information
I believe that awareness and understanding are the keys to any meaningful personal change. As such, my approach starts with an in depth assessment, where we will explore your difficulties, history, strengths, and goals in more detail. Through this we will develop an individualised psychological formulation and treatment plan.
A psychological formulation is a collaborative, dynamic and evolving process. It is a way for us to work together to understand YOU and any psychological difficulties or challenges you may be experiencing. It is a conceptual framework developed to make sense of your symptoms, behaviours, and experiences within a psychological context.
A formulation attempts to answer the question of "why" you are experiencing certain difficulties. By exploring the underlying causes, maintaining factors, and relevant influences, a formulation aims to provide insights into your unique psychological makeup and serves as a roadmap to promote positive personal change.
Therapeutically I primarily draw on cognitive behavioural approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focussed Therapy, and EMDR.
