About me
As a Clinical Psychologist and I am passionate about supporting my clients to overcome difficult emotions in order to live a life in line with their dreams and values.
Do you experience anxiety? Do you repeatedly check that doors are closed or lights are switched off before you can leave the house? Do you strive for perfection but always feel not good enough? Are you feeling low and lacking in energy or motivation? These are a couple of examples of difficulties that I can help you with. I specialise in supporting older teenagers, young adults and adults with difficulties, including but not limited to:
- perfectionism
- panic attacks
- generalised anxiety/worry
- specific phobias
- social anxiety
- depression
- low self-esteem.
I aim to create a relaxed and non-judgemental space where you feel comfortable talking, whether we meet face to face or online. Together we can learn about your difficult or overwhelming feelings, and we can think about why they happen and what cycles are keeping them going. I will then help you to learn new strategies and make some changes in order to break these cycles. You can overcome anxiety and low mood to reach your goals!
If you think that I could be the right person to support you then please email or call me to arrange a free 15 minute consultation. I look forward to hearing from you!
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 14 years professional experience. Most recently, I worked as a Senior Clinical Psychologist within a social enterprise where I supported adults with a wide range of psychological difficulties. Prior to this, I worked for over a decade as a Clinical Psychologist in NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).
In my private work, I offer short and long term individual therapy. I also facilitate a variety of mental health training courses for NHS and Social Care teams across the country, which enables me to maintain my links with the NHS and keep on top of the latest evidence base.

Memberships
I hold the protected title of Clinical Psychologist and I am governed by the Health and Care Professional Council (HCPC), the only legally recognised body for counselling and psychotherapy. My HCPC Registration number is PYL32718. I adhere to the strict ethical guidelines proposed by the HCPC.
Member organisations
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 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.
