About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist with nearly 10 years of NHS experience working in a variety of settings and with people who have many different presentations of distress. 

I am excited to now be offering psychological therapy both face to face and online.

Together, we'll explore where you want to be in life and what might be standing in your way. Rather than focusing on diagnoses or labels, I'll support you in creating a meaningful narrative of your life and identifying the challenges that might be hindering your well-being. My goal is to guide you in overcoming these obstacles and empower you to experiment with new ways of showing up, so you can reach your fullest potential.

My approach is integrative in that I draw on a number of psychological theories and models to meet your needs, rather than try to fit you into a model that doesn't necessarily reflect your experience.

No matter how many sessions we have or how long we work together, my goal is to create a space where you can feel supported and understood. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental approach that allows you to explore and develop your authentic self.

I offer a free 15 minute telephone or online consultation to discuss your needs or any questions you may have prior to your first session.

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
