About me
Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Perhaps you have noticed feeling low in mood or motivation, worried or anxious, stressed, burnt out or disconnected from people close to you? You may be experiencing difficulties related to a recent or past trauma that are difficult to manage or resulting in distress (e.g. memories or images, nightmares, struggling to make sense of what has happened). Would you like a safe space to talk to and be listened to? If any of the above connects with you, I can help.
I am registered as a clinical psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society.
I tailor therapy to your needs and goals. We work together on connecting you with what matters in life, exploring underlying issues, and helping you have a healthier relationship with yourself, loved ones and other important people in your life.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have over 14 years of experience working in the NHS with people experiencing a range of difficulties (e.g. anxiety, depression, PTSD and other trauma-related difficulties, long-term physical health conditions, psychosis).
I consider psychological, social and biological (physical) factors when working with a person. I believe it is important to also consider other factors such as the impact of culture, gender and race in addition to personal history. This allows for a holistic approach to the assessment and therapy process. Clients often appreciate this and find it to be a helpful approach.

Further information
I understand it can be hard to make this first step, and that you need to feel safe and build trust with your therapist. I offer a free 20-30 minute call to help you decide if working with me is right for you and to allow me to better understand what is happening for you. Face-to-face or online, I provide a safe space to work through your difficulties.
