About me

As a Chartered Health Psychologist, my work is grounded in the understanding that many psychological difficulties make sense when viewed in the context of a person’s experiences, relationships, and environment. I work integratively, drawing on multiple evidence-based approaches to support individuals navigating complex challenges, including trauma, mental health difficulties, and broader life stressors.

At the core of my practice is creating a space that feels containing, supportive, and steady, particularly during periods of distress. I tailor my approach to each individual rather than applying a single model. Central to this is formulation: a collaborative process of developing a shared understanding of what has led to current difficulties and what may be maintaining them. This provides a clear, personalised foundation for meaningful change. Alongside this, I incorporate behaviour change principles to support practical and sustainable shifts in day-to-day life.

I am motivated by supporting people to make sense of their experiences and to create change that feels both meaningful and sustainable. I have a particular interest in working with complexity, offering accessible, trauma-informed care that helps individuals navigate difficult circumstances with greater clarity and stability.

Alongside my clinical work, I am involved in supervision and teaching, supporting the development of other practitioners and contributing to high standards of psychological care.
