About me
I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, with 20 years experience working in NHS mental health services and private practice.
It's important for people to feel comfortable and relaxed in therapy, I offer a safe space for you to share and feel heard. I work with adults and children and have specialist experience of working with parents and families.
I offer day-time and evening appointments on weekdays. I can see you virtually or face-to-face in Newport Pagnell, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire. You can decide the length and frequency of treatment to suit your circumstances.

- Anxiety, including generalised anxiety disorder (worry), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, emetophobia (fear of vomit), specific phobias.
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Feeling sad, low mood, depression
- Low self-esteem, feelings of failure

- Children struggling with anger and presenting with challenging behaviours (aggression, screaming, hitting, biting, etc.)
- Post-diagnostic support for ADHD and Autism
Unfortunately I am not able to provide the right level of support for self-harm/ suicidal ideation or eating disorders in my private practice.
