About me
I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist offering online and face-to-face psychological assessment and therapy sessions. I am based in the South West of England.
Psychological therapy is a form of talking therapy. One of the main aims of talking therapy is to support you to deepen your understanding of the psychological, emotional and behavioural distress you are experiencing, and to support you to make changes that will improve your quality of life.
Common difficulties I am able to support people with include:
- Stress
- General anxiety and worry
- Low mood and depression
- Low self-esteem and confidence
- OCD
- Social anxiety
- Motivation
- Panic
Please do contact me with any questions you may have.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC). I am also an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) practitioner with the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).
I have over 10 years experience of working in the NHS, across a variety of settings. I have worked with individuals experiencing a range of different psychological, behavioural and emotional difficulties in the context of challenging life circumstances.
As a Clinical Psychologist, I am trained to a doctorate level in the use of a variety of therapeutic models. In addition to CBT, I incorporate elements of Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical and Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and systemic theory into my practice.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
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 BABCP is the lead organisation for Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in the UK. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in the practice, theory or development of CBT. BABCP also provides accreditation for CBT therapists. BABCP accredited members adhere to the Standards of Conduct, Performance and Ethics in the Practice of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies, and are willing to be scrutinised in this adherence as required.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
