About me
I am a qualified clinical psychologist and couples therapist with over a 15 years of experience. I work with both individuals and couples and I have experiencing in working with;
- Anxiety and anxiety-related conditions e.g. social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, specific phobias (e.g. emetophobia) and OCD
- Trauma and PTSD
- Chronic pain - I have specialist training in psychological approaches to managing chronic pain such as Pain Reprocessing Therapy as well as specialist training in using CBT, ACT and CFT to support people living with chronic pain.
- Relational difficulties - such as infidelity and betrayal, communication breakdowns, conflict, attachment difficulties and intimacy issues including lack of intimacy. Please consider that if sexual issues are the primary reason for seeking couple therapy then you may want to work with a psychosexual therapist
- Depression and low mood
- Neurodiversity - I have experience working with men and women who have autism or/and ADHD
- Bereavement and grief
I have found over many years that the most effective way of working with people and couples is to use an integrative approach, where I am able to make use of theory and practical skills from a number of different evidence-based therapeutic models. This gives me the freedom to fit the therapy to my clients' needs rather than the other way around. I have trained in the following therapy modalities:
- Psychodynamic psychotherapy (talk therapy that focuses on understanding the link between your past experiences and your current difficulties, including helping you to make sense of, and change, why you may feel stuck in unhelpful patterns of thinking/behaviour
- Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) - I am an Accredited EMDR Practitioner, registered with EMDR Europe
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
- Compassion-focused therapy (CFT)

- Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy (EFT)
- Dialectical Behavioural therapy (DBT)
