About me
I am a Consultant Chartered Clinical Psychologist and Accredited Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Practitioner registered with the Health and Care Professions Council.
I have provided psychological services within the National Health Service and as an independent practitioner since 1999. I have accumulated a wide range of experience working with individuals of all ages, families and groups.
My clinical approach is informed by the best available scientific evidence concerning specific psychological presentations (e.g., complex trauma, PTSD, emotional dysregulation, cognitive decline, anxiety spectrum, depression, relational, work-related stress).
I see adults and younger adults from the age of 15 years old and onwards. I employ a number of psychological orientations in my work including Attachment informed theory, Cognitive and Behavioural interventions, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Compassionate approaches, and EMDR. I consider the therapeutic relationship to be a vital component of psychological therapy.

Training, qualifications & experience
I specialise in utilizing a wide range of psychological therapies to alleviate emotional distress across the lifespan, with a particular focus on climate anxiety and EMDR intensives. My training spans various therapeutic modalities, including CBT, Compassion-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, Systemic Therapy, EMDR, Psychodynamic approaches, Schema Therapy, and Attachment Theory. I integrate these approaches to tailor treatment to your unique needs and experiences, always grounding our work in a strong therapeutic alliance.
While I have spent much of my career providing in-person therapy and value this approach, I now also offer online interventions. I see the use of technology as a powerful tool to connect in new and meaningful ways, providing greater flexibility, accessibility, and creativity in helping you achieve your goals. It's important to ensure you have the necessary technology and a secure, confidential, and comfortable environment for our online sessions.
I have a particular interest in exploring both internal and external factors that may influence your current emotional state. Internally, this might include cognitive processes such as memory, attention, planning, and organizational skills, as well as sleep, hormonal balance, pain, nutrition, physical activity, and self-soothing abilities. Externally, factors such as climate change, trauma, challenging relationships, work stress, and social dynamics may also play a significant role.
As an Expert Witness, I am well-versed in personal injury claims, neuropsychology, and court proceedings involving child protection issues.
