About me
Consultant Clinical Psychologist and EMDR therapist with over 15 years experience in central London NHS Trusts. I offer face-to-face (near Sevenoaks, Kent) and virtual sessions to help you to find your strength, reconnect with your values and feel heard in your struggles. I offer EMDR, ACT, CBT, Mindfulness based cognitive therapy and compassion focussed approaches. I work with adults and young people to manage stress conditions, anxiety symptoms, long-term health conditions and medically unexplained symptoms.
Most importantly, I am warm, engaging and interested in what makes people tick, and how to help them reach their full potential.
